Additional information
Wingate University offers a private school education at an incredibly affordable price. In fact, our average net price falls in line with many of North Carolina’s public four-year institutions. We believe in making college accessible and affordable.
The majority of our scholarships fall between $20,000 and $30,000 a year and are renewable for up to four years of undergraduate studies. Scholarships, in combination with need-based aid resulting from the FAFSA, can lead to an incredible financial-aid package. Students who are not eligible for the FAFSA can complete the financial responsibility form and qualify for institutional aid.
