FAFSA
The Louisburg College FAFSA Guide
Don’t let the “sticker price” of a private education hold you back. At Louisburg, 99% of our students receive financial aid.
Get Started
Why file early?
The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is the single most important step to unlocking grants, scholarships, and low-interest loans tailored to you. The sooner you file, the sooner we can build your personalized aid package.
Louisburg College school code: 002943
Priority deadline: July 1 (Fall) · December 1 (Spring)
NC residents: Filing early is critical to qualify for the North Carolina Need-Based Scholarship, which helps many Louisburg students bridge the gap.
