Average Net Price
Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

For out of state central can be expensive but if you become a Residential Assistant is makes it easier. Also financial aid is good as long as you get it done as early as possible.
Alexis from Woodbridge, VA
Great school for pricing when you consider all that is available. If you don't use the resources given to you, then it definitely won't be worth it.

Eagle Pride..AMPLIFIED!
Olivia from Joliet, IL
This is a really inexpensive school and this school offers plenty of scholarships and work study's for students.
A Proud Eagle from Raleigh, NC
After scholarships and grants, the costs of tuition and books should be extremely manageable.
Justine from Raleigh, NC
I think the in-state tuition is very affordable and there are a lot of resources for any issues you may have or incur so it's all worth it.
Monique from Pineville, NC
Though North Carolina Central University's tuition is higher than most other HBCUs in the state of North Carolina you do see the ways in which the money is being distributed. Not only have they built a three story state of the are cafeteria, but a new bookstore, parking garage, School of Nursing, and residence hall are being built to relieve pressure off of other dorms. Books are also available. Since I have been here there has not been a shortage. NCCU will also give back to the students by allowing us to sell back our books at the end of each semester receiving half of the initial book value in return.
