    Scholarships & Financial AidThe Office of Scholarships & Financial Aidis a resource and information center to help students achieve their

    educational goals. The Office guides students throughout the process of securing resources necessary to pay

    for their college education. A college education is one of the biggest investments and expenses one will incur

    in a lifetime. Financial aid is a mechanism used to accomplish this achievement.

    In order for the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid to determine a students eligibility for federal, state and

    most institutional financial aid, students must submit theFree Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

    The application is available after January 1st

    each year and requires the parental and student tax information

    for the previous tax year.

    There are four basic sources of financial aid offered. The eligibility requirements vary for each.

    THE BASIC SOURCES OF FINANCIAL AID:

    Federal the federal government is the largest source of financial aid; some programs are basedupon financial need and others are available regardless of a students ability to pay.

    State recipients of state funds must be a resident of North Carolina; students are automaticallyconsidered for aid upon completion of the FAFSA.

    Institutional need based aid is available in the form of grants, scholarships and loans to studentswith financial need as determined by the results of the FAFSA.

    Private- civic organizations, associations, clubs, foundations, churches, and businesses providefinancial assistance for education expenses.

    Financial Aid is available and consists of two different types: Gift Aid, which consists of grants and scholar-

    ships that do not have to be repaid and Self-Help Aid, which consists of loans and student employment.

    THE TYPES OF FINANCIAL AID:

    Grants provides assistance to students that have financial need. Grants typically do not requirerepayment. Examples are the PELL Grant, Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG), TEACH

    Grant, NC Need Based, and the NC Lottery.

    Scholarships awards to students based on high academic achievement, special talents or skills.Students are not required to complete the FAFSA for consideration of merit scholarships; however

    some scholarship may be based on academic achievement and financial need. Loans - a source of aid that must be repaid, usually with interest, after students graduate or stop

    going to school. The Department of Education administers all student loans through the William D.

    Ford Direct Loan Program. They also offer credit-based loans for Parents and Graduate students.

    Employment - a self-help program enabling students to work and earn money to help pay schoolexpenses. Federal Work-study is a need-based program and eligibility is determined by the results of

    the FAFSA. If students are not able to participate in the Federal Work-Study program, job

    opportunities are available through Career Services.

    Hours: 8am-5pm

    Office of Transition Programs

    TheOffice of Transition Programsprovides a comprehensive array of programs designed to meet the

    unique needs of undergraduate students and parents from orientation through graduation. Programs

    generate an intentional connection for the students through engaging interactions with other students,

    faculty and staff.

    Orientationis designed to help you make a smooth transition to UNCW. You will learn whatyou need to know to make a successful academic and personal adjustment to UNCW. Class

    registration, placement testing, and information about services provided to students are integral

    parts of learning about a new place and a new experience.

    Convocationis the beginning of your academic career. It includes a short ceremony at the clocktower with the unveiling of the Class flag, a welcome from the Student Body President and the

    beginning of your first Trask Trek, one of the great UNCW traditions.

    Seahawk Linksare UNCW students who assist incoming freshmen with the transition intocollege during their first semester. Seahawk Links serve as a mentor to these students throughinteractions in the classroom and assist new students with making connections to

    UNCW. Students are chosen based upon their involvement at the University, and their

    interpersonal, academic, and leadership skills. Every freshman, with the exception of students

    enrolled in the Cornerstone, the Honors Scholars or the Global Perspectives Initiative learning

    communities, will receive a Seahawk Link.

    Family and Alumni Weekend is traditionally held in the fall. Families of students and alumniare invited to the university for a weekend of games, food, entertainment and fellowship. We

    hope you will participate in this unique opportunity to experience life on campus and take

    advantage of being part of the SEAHAWK FAMILY!

    Commencement is the time we celebrate your wonderful academic achievements at UNCWand you receive your degree. Ceremonies are held in December and May of each year.

    Teal Bridge programs and Teal Bridge Mentors are charged specifically to help TransferStudents navigate the newness so that they can make the most of their time here. Although

    transfer students have been to college before, UNCW has its own culture, rules, regulations and

    resources; assisting with a successful transition is the goal of Teal Bridge.
