Financial Aid for All

Our team is here to partner with students and families, connecting you with all possible resources. We want to do all we can to help your dreams become reality.

Chowan offers undergraduate students financial aid through scholarships, grants and loans. In addition, you may qualify for a work-study job or pursue additional, outside scholarships and grants. Because of our generous financial aid, Chowan is as affordable as many state universities, while providing 1-on-1 academic and support services in a Christian environment where student success is a top priority. In order to receive aid, a student needs to have been admitted to the University and, after enrollment, must make satisfactory academic progress.

The financial aid process begins by filling out the FAFSA after you have applied to Chowan.

FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Filling out the FAFSA determines how much aid you are eligible to receive.

You can find the FAFSA online at fafsa.gov. You will fill out the FAFSA each year you plan to enroll in school. You can begin filling out your FAFSA in October. Remember to include Chowan’s FAFSA code so that we receive a copy of your application.

Chowan’s FAFSA Code: 002916
