成立于2004年, the 卡约 is a financial aid package and network of support that provides an opportunity for students to graduate from UNC-Chapel Hill debt-free. The Covenant meets full financial need and also offers academic, career and well-being support to help Scholars thrive.
Covenant Scholars are admitted students from families with an income at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines and who meet additional financial criteria.
The simple idea of helping students from lower-income families find a path to debt-free graduation came to fruition under the guidance of former Chancellor James Moeser and Shirley Ort, former director of the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid. It now serves as a model program replicated by dozens of colleges and universities.
