Our Opportunities

Welcome to Brave ASSIST, UNC Pembroke’s scholarship application portal.

The 2025-2026 general application is now open. Completing the six-question general application gives students priority access to almost 330 scholarships. This application takes less than five minutes to complete. Please note that although completing the application gives students priority access to scholarships, ALL students will be matched to scholarships based solely on their student data.

There are 27 scholarships that require additional questions to be completed. These scholarships will can be found after you complete the general application by selecting opportunities in the upper left corner and then select ours.

UNCP awards numerous scholarships each academic year through the fundraising efforts of the UNCP Foundation and the generosity of private donors. Scholarship award amounts vary and are often awarded based on several factors including, but not limited to, demonstrated academic success, financial need, and donor-specific criteria.

Auto-match Scholarships: All current and newly-admitted students are considered for auto-match scholarships based on information imported from their student file.

Apply-to Scholarships: These scholarships require additional questions or an essay to be eligible for award. After reviewing the scholarship description, please complete these additional requirements to be considered for these scholarships.

Terms Used
