What type of scholarships and financial aid are available, and how do I apply?
Each student accepted into Greensboro College is reviewed for merit scholarships. Merit scholarships are awarded regardless of financial need and are renewable for an additional three years based on the student’s grade point average. We strongly encourage all students to file the FAFSA (Free Application for Student Aid) to consider you for additional aid programs and help meet your cost of attendance at Greensboro College.
