GRADUADOS DE LA ESCUELA SECUNDARIA DE CAROLINA DEL NORTE EN 2022:
Podría obtener un título sin tener que pagar matrícula.

(Será el mejor dinero que nunca gaste).

Si es estudiante, padre o cualquier otra persona que ayude con el formulario, puede empezar a completar la FAFSA aquí.

Con la ayuda económica de Longleaf Commitment Grant de Carolina del Norte, el dinero ya no tiene que ser un obstáculo para obtener una buena educación que le permita conseguir un trabajo. Esto se debe a que muchos de los que se graduaron de la escuela secundaria de Carolina del Norte en 2022, como usted, pueden recibir hasta $2,800 por año durante dos años, lo que significa que podría obtener un título de cualquiera de las 58 universidades comunitarias de todo el estado sin tener que pagar la matrícula. (Leyó bien).

Y lo mejor es que, además del dinero de la ayuda en sí (que, como una beca, nunca tiene que ser reembolsado), es que no hay ninguna solicitud adicional que completar. Y tampoco hay condiciones ocultas. Lo único que tiene que hacer es completar la Solicitud Gratuita de Ayuda Federal para Estudiantes (Free Application for Federal Student Aid, FAFSA) e inscribirse en una universidad comunitaria de Carolina del Norte. Luego, si es elegible, la oficina de ayuda económica de su universidad comunitaria le informará si su solicitud resultó aprobada.

 

¿QUIÉNES SON ELEGIBLES?

Requisitos para recibir la ayuda económica Longleaf Commitment Grant:

  • Ser residente de Carolina del Norte
  • Haberse graduado de una escuela secundaria de Carolina del Norte en 2022
    (quienes hayan completado la equivalencia con la escuela secundaria [GED, HiSET] son elegibles)
  • Ser un estudiante universitario por primera vez
    (los estudiantes de Career & College Promise (CCP) y de la escuela secundaria temprana/intermedia son elegibles)
  • Haberse inscrito en un programa de estudios para el año académico 2022-2023
  • Tomar al menos 6 horas de crédito por semestre
    (los estudiantes de medio tiempo elegibles recibirán una ayuda parcial)
  • Ser un estudiante que completó la FAFSA de 2022-2023
    (con una contribución familiar esperada (Expected Family Contribution, EFC) resultante de entre $0 y $15,000)

Por favor, tenga en cuenta: los estudiantes NO necesitan completar la FAFSA 2023/2024 para recibir la beca para este año calendario.

Para recibir una ayuda económica para el siguiente año académico, lo único que tiene que hacer es lo siguiente:

  • Renovar su FAFSA para el año escolar 2023-2024
  • Cumplir con los requisitos de progreso académico satisfactorio de su universidad

  3. Planifique una ocasión en la que tengan al menos una hora para completarla juntos.

Ayuda con la FAFSA

MÁS SOBRE EL DINERO

Las ayudas varían de $700 a $2,800 por año para pagar la matrícula y las cuotas en una universidad comunitaria de Carolina del Norte. El financiamiento para el programa de ayudas proviene del fondo Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER), que emplea el dinero obtenido de paquetes federales de ayuda para el COVID-19. El programa de ayudas Longleaf Commitment Grant de Carolina del Norte es una asociación entre la Oficina del Gobernador de Carolina del Norte, el Sistema Universitario Comunitario de Carolina del Norte y la Autoridad Estatal de Asistencia Educativa.

Let’s find the right path for you.

Answer a few questions to see what your best route to getting hired might be.

Have you completed high school or an equivalent?

Nope. I’ve got a few years left.

Do you want to work toward earning a degree?

Yep.

All signs point to you getting a head start on your higher education while you’re still in high school.

That’s because the Career & College Promise program allows you to have duel enrollment, so you can work on both at the same time. And since this program is also tuition free, it’s a real money-saver.

Nope.

Your answers suggest on-the-job learning might be a great way to get your foot in the door.

This type of training combines hands-on learning with related classroom instruction. Apprentices earn money while learning a highly-skilled trade from an employer. State and federal certificates as well as other credentials can also be completed through an apprenticeship.

No.

How do you see community college benefitting you?

By helping me grow my skills.

Looks like your top priority is getting the skills you need fast—so you can land a good job quickly.

Short-term training, sometimes called continuing education, comes in various forms and are all focused on helping you gain the real-world skills you need to get into—or move up in—a number of fields. These courses often lead to state licensure or a certificate upon completion.

Yes. (Or at least, I will soon.)

Are you interested in earning college credit?

Yes, definitely.

Which way do you prefer to learn?

Virtually or physically, being part of a class works for me.

How much time are you willing to spend getting an education?

Two years, tops. I’m trying to get done and get a job ASAP.

Seems like you want the opportunities that come with a degree, but in half the time of a bachelor’s. 

Associate degrees are perfect for that. They can give you a big advantage over many non-degree holders in the job market—and open up even more potential positions that were previously out of reach. You’ll have relevant skills employers want in about two years.

I could do four—or more.

Great! Sounds like you plan on using community college as a stepping stone to a four-year university.

Like any associate degree, transfer degrees take about two years to complete—but this one includes general education credits that are easily transferable. It counts the same as having completed two years toward a bachelor’s degree.

I learn best by being hands-on. Just show me how to do it.
