On February 1, 2014, history will be made in North Carolina. This is the date when the North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority (NCSEAA) will provide application information on its website,www.ncseaa.edu, so parents can apply for the new North Carolina Opportunity Scholarship Grants. The NCSEAA will begin awarding scholarship grants to parents on March 1, 2014.  The NC General Assembly provided funding for approximately 2,500 students.  However, if there is a large number of applicants, additional funds will be requested.

A website has been designed for parents to see if they qualify for the grant: www.schoolchoicenc.org.
