Scholarship Application Process

North Carolina Scholarship for the Children of Wartime Veterans

The North Carolina Children of Wartime Veterans Scholarship Program (the Scholarship Program) was created by the North Carolina General Assembly to honor the services and sacrifices of the state’s war veterans and their families. For eligible recipients, the Scholarship Program applies to North Carolina schools and can be used for eight academic semesters (up to four academic years). Once awarded, the student recipient has eight years to utilize the Scholarship Program over the course of eight academic semesters. The student must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 throughout the four academic years.

Submitting an application does not guarantee eligibility or a scholarship award.  Additionally, all scholarship award funds are subject to the availability of state funds.
