Access Asheville

Demonstrating our longstanding commitment to access and affordability, UNC Asheville is proud to launch Access Asheville, a new financial aid program designed to make an exceptional, transformative education attainable for low- and middle-income North Carolinians. This provides an affordable path to pursue an undergraduate college degree for those who may have previously thought it would be out of reach financially.

Access Asheville guarantees full tuition and fee coverage through grants and scholarships during fall and spring semesters for North Carolina residents whose adjusted gross income is $80,000 or less, well above the median household income of $65,000 and potentially impacting more than half of North Carolina families and residents. 

This significant financial commitment represents an annual savings of $7,461 per family.
