Looking for a top-rated university that not only paves the way to a successful career, but also provides a well-rounded liberal arts and sciences education and nationally recognized faculty?

We’ve got two reasons this is the week to consider completing your education at UNC Asheville.

🏫 Access Asheville upped to $90,000

Breaking news: Access Asheville upped its qualifying annual income to $90,000. The university’s financial aid program guarantees fully covered tuition and fees for North Carolina residents whose annual family income is $90,000 or less (previously $80,000) — making a high-quality education more accessible to more than half of NC families and residents.

🧑‍💻 It’s Free Application Week

ICYMI, this week is College Application Week (aka Free Application Week). From Monday, Oct. 21 to Sunday, Oct. 27, UNC Asheville is among the participating NC colleges that are waiving their application fees — yes, that means you can apply for free when applying through the CFNC portal.
