Free Tuition for Eligible 2021 NC High School Graduates

Yes We Did!

ELIGIBLE 2021 NORTH CAROLINA HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES WILL HAVE THEIR TUITION AND FEES COVERED AT
ROBESON COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOR UP TO TWO YEARS

The Longleaf Commitment is a grant program for 2021 North Carolina high school graduates who will attend one of our state’s “Great 58” community colleges starting in the Fall 2021 semester. High school graduates may be eligible to receive this grant – not a loan – to cover tuition and fees toward a degree or to attain transfer credit.

Full-time eligible students are guaranteed to receive $700 to $2,800 per academic year, for a total of two years. Less than full-time students may receive a partial award.

The Longleaf Commitment Grant ends at the conclusion of the 2023 spring semester.
