Out-of-State Students

Out-of-State students must be awarded a fellowship or assistantship appointment of at least $2,000 to be eligible for a Tuition Remission Award, which reduces tuition to in-state rates. If awarded, the out-of-state tuition differential will be paid on the student’s behalf for the first year of an assistantship. Students are expected to make a good faith effort to obtain NC residency by the end of the first year. International students on an F1 Visa are exempt from this expectation.

Out-of-State students who are awarded a Tuition Remission Award may also be eligible for an In-State Tuition Award. The combination of these two awards covers all tuition, but students remain responsible for University fees.

Out-of-State students may not be awarded an In-State Tuition Award unless they have already been awarded a Tuition Remission Award.
