The H.E.A.R.T of the Triangle · Harnett spotlight

A local address.
A bigger opportunity.

Home Girl, here’s news worth sharing with your high-school senior: Campbell University’s Harnett County Tuition-Free Guarantee covers 100% of undergraduate tuition for eligible residents, beginning Fall 2026.

Up to 4 years (8 semesters), funded through scholarships and grants—not student or parent loans in the guarantee.

Check Campbell’s requirements

Who qualifies?

  • Be a Harnett County resident; Campbell uses USPS address data to verify the address.
  • Be admitted as a new, first-year, full-time undergraduate student.
  • Live on campus.
  • Enroll full time in a traditional undergraduate program.
  • File the FAFSA using Campbell’s school code 002913.

Tuition-free does not mean every cost is covered.

Not covered: housing and meals; books and course materials; personal expenses; summer courses; general fees; specialized program or technology fees. Current Campbell, Adult & Online, and graduate students are not eligible for this guarantee.

This is Campbell’s university initiative, not a home-purchase benefit or a guarantee for every high-school student. Moving to Harnett County does not by itself establish eligibility; confirm your situation directly with Campbell Admissions.

Mungo Homes · Lillington, Harnett County

64 Harriette Court, Lillington, NC 27546

Builder-advertised starting range: Mid $200s

A Harnett County home-shopping stop with ranch and two-story choices, generous homesites, and access to Lillington’s Cape Fear River setting. Let’s compare the home, the location, and your real-life budget—not just the pretty pictures.

Where it connects

Mungo’s directions approach through Fuquay-Varina on US-401, then follow NC-27 W from Lillington for approximately 4.5 miles to the community. US-421 connects the town toward Sanford and Dunn; access is through local roads, not a direct interstate entrance.

Approximate town-to-town distances from Lillington—not from the homesite and not commute-time promises. Check your own route and traffic. Distance reference · Builder directions.

Contact Nyia before builder registration. Tours require confirmation. Price range and gallery checked October 14, 2026; pricing and inventory can change.

The Harnett connection goes beyond the front door.

This is a Harnett County community—the same county served by Campbell’s tuition guarantee for eligible residents. A home purchase does not guarantee admission or eligibility.
