The Adult Learner section provides assistance to the nontraditional student who is seeking to begin or resume higher education. Adult students are often referred to as "nontraditional students" due to their unique circumstances, life experience, and wide array of educational needs.

 

Explore Financial Aid Options:

Although the cost of college may sometimes seem overwhelming, there is plenty of help available to make college possible. Some basic thoughts on financial aid:

  • Always assume that you may be eligible for financial aid
  • Consider all schools, regardless of cost; financial aid may be available
  • It is FREE to apply for federal financial aid, so go ahead and try  



Adult students should contact an admissions officer at the school of their choice to discuss special options that may exist for adults seeking to continue their education. Click here­ to find the institutions in North Carolina that have dedicated offices for Adult Student Services.

The CFNC Adult Learner section provides assistance to the nontraditional student who is seeking to:

  • complete high school.
    Visit our High School Completer­ portion of the Adult Learner section for more information on earning your high school diploma through the Adult High School program or the GED tests.

  • begin college as a freshman.
    If you are an adult student who has decided to pursue higher education, please visit First-Time College Student­ in the Adult Learner section.

  • return to school as a transfer student.
    Perhaps you were previously enrolled in college and had to put your education on hold. Or you'd like to transfer from one institution to another. Visit our Transfer Student­ segment of the Adult Learner section for more information on issues of specific interest to transfer students.

  • obtain a second degree, attend graduate or professional school.
    Visit the CFNC College Fair­ to link to area schools and universities to research degree programs of interest to you.

  • return to school as a non-degree student.
    Did you know that you can enroll in most 2-year and 4-year schools as a non-degree student and take classes? Perhaps you'd like to explore personal interests or take a specific course to enhance your job skills. A visit to the CFNC College Fair­ allows you to explore endless education options at more than 100 North Carolina schools.

  • explore career options.
    Perhaps you are interested in developing a second career, changing careers altogether, or exploring expanded career opportunities. A visit to the CFNC Career Center­ could open a world of possibilities for you.

  • explore financial aid options, including Veteran's benefits for adults with military service. For a listing of financial aid programs for military and their dependents, visit www.cfnc.org/paying/pubs/info_pubs.jsp and go to page 33 of the PDF document "Student Financial Aid for North Carolinians."

good link

I got my masters at 52. I had a blast doing it. I learned as much from the young people in the classroom as I did from the teachers.

Great blog.

about financial aid... is 6.8% interest on a loan a good deal?

Yes, Jayne.

It is a very good interest rate for a student loan.
