At UNC, it is our mission to keep higher education both accessible and affordable to students who are Colorado residents with the greatest financial need. To better support students and keep a college degree well within reach, we launched a new initiative called the UNC Tuition Promise for fall 2024.
Starting Fall 2024, all Colorado residents who meet the eligibility criteria will have 100% of their standard tuition and mandatory student fees* covered. The UNC Tuition Promise is our commitment to continuing to remove financial aid barriers in order ensure a UNC education remains affordable.
Made possible through a combination of federal, state, institutional and donor based funds, students who qualify will see a combination of funds within their financial aid offer. Questions? Contact ofa@hitchedhike.com for more information.
*The UNC Tuition Promise program does not include housing, dining/meal plans, textbooks, differential tuition, or other nonstandard academic fees or program costs.
