The Dare Guarantee Scholarship provides free tuition and books for any Dare County High School graduate who has graduated in the last 2 years from High School. The County Commissioners led by Chairman Bob Woodard provided the College with $250,00.00 to support our students in obtaining a 2 year College Transfer Degree or a Career and Technical Certification in the Workforce Development Programs of Study.

This past year we had over one hundred HS students be awarded a full scholarship to attend COA. Dare County is the very first and only County in the State of NC that supports a free Education to attend a Community College. I can not thank the Board of Commissioners enough for their support of COA and our students.
