There are a lot of options when it comes to financing your Meredith education. Here are some great places to start.

1. The financial assistance process begins with the completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) which should be completed after January 1 of the year you wish to attend but no later than February 15. Make sure you indicate Meredith College's code #002945 when filling out your FAFSA to ensure that we will receive your information. You can file your FAFSA electronically via the FAFSA website.
   
   The FAFSA is used to determine eligibility for need-based federal aid. We will use the information you provide on the FAFSA to determine your elligibility for additional state and institutional funds.
   
   
2. After filing the FAFSA, you should submit your and your parent's previous year's tax returns and W-2 forms to the Office of Financial Assistance. This information can be faxed to our office at (919) 760-2373 or mailed to:

Meredith College

Grants and Loans
After the results of your FAFSA have been processed, we will be able to determine your eligibility for need-based grants and loans. If you attend Meredith full-time and are a resident of North Carolina, you will be eligible to receive the North Carolina Legislative Tuition Grant, which provides $1900 towards the cost of tuition. To learn more about these programs, visit our Grants and Loans pages.

Scholarships
Depending on your academic record and background, you may be eligible for certain scholarships. Some scholarship programs are administered through the Meredith Office of Admissions, while others are funded through outside sources. To see a list of available scholarships, visit our Scholarships page.

Payment Plans
For those who prefer to pay their tuition balance over a period of time rather than in a lump sum, Meredith offers two payment options. To find out more about these options, visit our Payment Plans page.

Federal Work Study
If you are eligible for the Federal Work Study Program according to the information provided on your FAFSA, your award packet will contain a work study component. To learn more about this program, visit our Student Employment page.
