From Axios: “At some prominent North Carolina universities — UNC Charlotte and Duke, for instance — the share of Black and Hispanic first-year students rose this year, bucking a trend at other well-known institutions like UNC-Chapel Hill. … The Carolinas Initiative, in its second year, provides full tuition grants for students from North Carolina or South Carolina whose families make under $150,000. QuestBridge helps connect low-income and first-generation students with scholarship opportunities.”
