NC First In FAFSA

🎓🗣 High school seniors should complete the #FAFSA ASAP. North Carolina colleges and universities award aid on a first-come, first-served basis.

"Without completing the FAFSA, students have no opportunity to receive a Pell Grant or other federal financial aid," says Gina Zhang (@myFutureNCdata). The classes of 2021 and 2022 left $239 million in Pell Grants on the table. ednc.org/north-carolina…
