Longleaf Commitment Grant

The Longleaf Commitment is a grant program for 2020, 2021 or 2022 North Carolina high school graduates who will attend Stanly Community College starting in the Fall 2021, Spring 2022 or the Fall 2022 semester respectively.  High school graduates may be eligible to receive this grant – not a loan – to cover tuition and fees toward a degree or to attain transfer credit. Full-time eligible students are guaranteed to receive $700 to $2,800 per academic year, for two years. Less than full-time students may receive a partial award. The Longleaf Commitment Grant ends at the conclusion of the 2024 spring semester.
