Here’s what you’ll need to qualify for a student assist loan.
Be at least 17.
Be enrolled (or accepted for enrollment) at least halftime at an eligible non-profit Title IV institution in a degree-seeking program.
Be a North Carolina resident or attending a North Carolina school.
Be credit-worthy and have the required credit score, or have a co-signer who meets the credit requirements.

Many students don’t have the credit history or income requirements to be eligible for loans by themselves. However, a parent or qualified relative with a strong credit history can cosign your NC Student Assist Loan and share responsibility for repaying the loan.
