Covenant Helps Where Help is Needed Most

The Carolina Covenant is important to North Carolina and similar parts of America where a growing population is more diverse; the economy lags; and a larger proportion of college-age youth are low-income and in need of assistance.

At the same time, never has a college education been as crucial to self-sufficiency and employability. Projections show that the majority of North Carolina’s counties will grow in population through the end of 2010.

This growth will heighten the need for Carolina’s continued emphasis on access to affordable, high-quality education at all levels as a means to ensure the well-being of its students. As successful students who have accomplished much with some assistance from the Carolina Covenant move into a competitive job environment, they can only help the economy of their communities.
