I. Constituent
institutions may consider as resident students, for tuition and all other
purposes, nonresident students who receive a full scholarship from entities
recognized by the institution. Participation by constituent institutions is
optional. Constituent institutions participating must do so based on a
resolution by its board of trustees. The resolution of the board of trustees
can be approved at any time.
II. Only
undergraduate students may be considered residents pursuant to this provision.
This provision does not apply to students receiving full scholarships for
athletics.
III. A
student who receives a “full” scholarship is one who receives a grant or grants
that cover tuition, mandatory fees, room and board for the academic year in
which the student is to be considered a resident.
IV. The
scholarship must come from one or more entities recognized in the board of trustees’
resolution or recognized by the chancellor pursuant to delegated authority from
the board of trustees. This list may include both entities with which the
constituent institution has a formal relationship and entities which do not
have a formal relationship with the constituent institution. If an entity is
recognized by the board of trustees, all students receiving full scholarships
from that entity must be treated as resident students in accordance with this
provision.
V. An
institution may phase in this provision by recognizing only a limited number of
entities initially and then approving an amendment to add other recognized
entities.
VI. Neither
the constituent institution itself, nor a fund of the constituent institution,
may be a recognized entity. However, the institution’s endowment may be a
recognized entity if it is awarding scholarships that are derived totally from
private funding sources.

full scholarship may not include grants from state or federal funds distributed
by the constituent institutions or administered by the North Carolina State
Education Assistance Authority.
