Student Affairs Priorities:
Student Emergency Fund
Your gift to the Student Emergency Fund supports students facing unexpected life emergencies. Whether due to accidents, illness, death of a family member, fire damage, need for temporary housing, or natural disaster, this fund can serve as a lifeline to a student navigating a sudden disruption or life crisis.
Greek Life Fund
The Greek Life Fund supports scholarships, leadership opportunities, professional development, and community service projects for UNC Charlotte's fraternities and sororities, a diverse and values-based community of over 40 chapters uniquely positioned to build the leaders of tomorrow.
49er Family Fund
Your gift to the 49er Family Fund, an initiative created from family support, provides opportunities to enhance the 49er experience. Donations fund campus initiatives and programs that might otherwise be unachievable due to campus budget constraints. The 49er Family Fund serves as a funding catalyst for innovative, high-impact programs that benefit the larger UNC Charlotte campus community.
Jamil Niner Student Pantry Fund
One in three college students experiences food insecurity. The Jamil Niner Student Pantry provides assistance to UNC Charlotte students who struggle with food insecurity. Help us do our part so that no person in the Niner community goes hungry and every student has access to nutritious food.
