Greetings!
You have applied to the CVM at NC State for the upcoming school year. I am the Scholarship and Financial Aid contact for current and future students in the College of Veterinary Medicine. I'd like to give you some advance information regarding scholarships and financial aid at NCSU and the CVM.
Please read this important information if you have applied for 2010-2011 and you are interested in ANY Financial Aid or Scholarships for the upcoming school year.
You must complete the FAFSA to be eligible for ANY financial aid or scholarship. The priority deadline to file is March 1, 2010 and is coming fast. Students who complete the FAFSA by March 1 will have priority for NC State grants (if offered admission). One major difference between completing the FAFSA as an undergraduate and a graduate/professional student is that you no longer need to include parental income on the FAFSA as you are now all considered "independent." So, go to the FAFSA website and update and/or complete the electronic form and submit it no later than March 1, 2010. The website is:
http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ Our FAFSA Institutional Code is 002972. You should complete the FAFSA to be eligible for any financial aid at any institution so complete this and submit it even if you aren't sure that NC State CVM is where you will be attending! Be sure to complete your social security number as this is how NC State will match you to your FAFSA information.
Should you receive an offer of admission, I will contact you with information regarding additional financial aid and scholarship paperwork that you will need to complete to be eligible for financial aid at NC State and scholarships at the CVM.
Information regarding private scholarships for those admitted students will have a separate application and I will send those out to you via email as they become available. Please pay close attention to the individual deadlines for these private scholarships.
Please email me with questions regarding Scholarships and Financial Aid.
