• Financial aid is available to adult students who have been officially accepted as degree-seeking students at North Carolina Wesleyan University. Federal financial aid provides options for student loans and Pell Grants with eligibility depending on various criteria established by the federal government. Both require submission of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at least 8-10 weeks before the money is needed to pay tuition. Additional information and forms are available at the Adult & Professional Studies campuses and online at ncwc.edu or by calling the Office of Financial Aid at 800.488.6292 or 252.985.5200.
• Adult students whose employers reimburse part or all of their tuition costs are eligible for the Employer Reimbursement Plan (ERP). Students must provide a verification of employment, a copy of employer ERP policy which outlines limitations of their ERP plan and sign an agreement with North Carolina Wesleyan University verifying that they understand their employer reimbursement plan and its commitments each semester. A minimum $50 deposit per course will be required at registration, which is applied to the total tuition due for the course. If an employer pays 100 percent of tuition by check payable to North Carolina Wesleyan Universityin advance of the session, the tuition deposit is waived. (The student is responsible for providing all information to the employer for reimbursement.) Any non-reimbursable portion of tuition must also be paid at registration. The remaining tuition is deferred and is due within 60 days after the completion of each course.
