Scholarship Newsletter #5
UNC-Chapel Hill update… Students who applied Early Action can look forward to receiving their decision by the
end of January by visiting their Carolina Connect Student Center. In the meantime, students should check their
account regularly for the status of their application, including any missing items.
Please note that students do NOT need to send first-quarter grades at this point. If we need mid-year grades, we will
email the student with instructions on how to self-report them.
Students who have not yet applied have one more chance; January 15 is the final deadline to apply! (Students
must visit the Common App website to apply.)
Students have until March 1 to apply for financial aid, but we encourage them to apply sooner. Students don't have to
wait for admission in order to apply for aid.

Chowan University is committed to serving average students. By “average” we mean
students with a GPA from 2.25-3.25 and “average” SAT scores (around 800 for the two-part
SAT). Students below these criteria may be admitted if they show a commitment to the
Chowan University experience and academic potential. Many of Chowan’s students are firstgeneration college students, children of parents who did not attend college or complete a
college degree. Because of Chowan’s commitment to individual attention in a Christian
environment, these students thrive at Chowan. For more information visit www.chowan.edu
