The Elite to Elite program was initiated by the Commanding General of Marine Corps Instalations East in cooperation with the University of North Carolina System Office.  The intent of the program is to assist deserving high quality Marines in getting accepted into a UNC school. 
 
Here’s how it works: Marine Corps Installations East has teamed with the University of North Carolina school system to allow a select group of Marines and Sailors nearing the end of their military contracts (EAS) to be accepted directly into the most prestigious schools in the Tar Heel State, without competing against a sea of other applicants.  This is a test program, and its long-term prospects will depend entirely upon the quality of the Marines and Sailors we send.  Only our best service members, those with real academic potential and proven leadership skills will be accepted into this program. In a nutshell, we are looking for candidates that will make a contribution to their campus beyond just being a good student.  If you think you fit that description,  consider applying for the program.  The CG has a pocketful of what amounts to “no further questions asked” admissions, and all he needs are qualified  Marines and Sailors who claim North Carolina as their home state for tax purposes.

Participating schools include University of North Carolina Wilmington, University of North Carolina, Eastern Carolina University, North Carolina A&T State University, Fayetteville State University, University of North Carolina Charlotte, University of North Carolina Pembroke, Western Carolina University, Appalachian State University, North Carolina State University, University of North Carolina Greensboro, North Carolina Central University, University of North Carolina Ashville, Winston-Salem State University, Elizabeth City State University and University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.

Look for information to be published soon regarding the application process and timeframes.
