Business Sponsored Student Procedures

Pursant to N.C.G.S § 115D-39(a), North Carolina law provides a special benefit to employers choosing to pay the full cost of an eligible student/employee’s community college tuition.  The employer is granted the in-state tuition rate, even when the student/employee does not meet the general requirements for in-state tuition.  The law requires the student/employee to work at the employers’s North Carolina business location.  The burden of proof is on the student/employee to establish that the business is a legitimate North Carolina business approved by the North Carolina Department of the Secretary of State.

Forsyth Tech will require the following in order to be processed as a Business sponsored student:

  • Request for the in-state rate must be on company letterhead
  • A copy of the employee’s pay stub
  • The completed company sponsorship form.  Click the link below or stop by the Cashier’s Office, Admissions, or the Records Office to obtain a copy.
  • Business sponsored student questions can be addressed to the Main Campus Cashiers Office at 336-734-7210 or email tatkins@forsythtech.edu
