Outstanding graduate students are the key to the success of any research university. In the words of Graduate School Dean Tom Reynolds, “They are necessary to attract top faculty which in turn drives our research and scholarship forward to the next level.
The driving force behind graduate education is the desire to address business and community needs. Our Center for Graduate Life and Learning delivers professional development, career preparation and a sense of community that equips well-educated students with leadership, cultural and communication skills they need to succeed. Our Graduate Fellowships help provide the resources students need to maintain focus on their studies and progress toward their degree.
Please consider how you can assist UNC Charlotte’s Graduate School in educating and training over 6,300 graduate students whose work in laboratories, private industry and national universities contributes to America’s global leadership. Today’s graduate student becomes tomorrow’s highly trained, skilled leader or employee.
Private donations are vital to support needed fellowships, research activities, professional development and educational opportunities for all graduate students across the UNC Charlotte campus.

Shape What's Next for The Graduate School
Looking to take part in #NinerNationGives? Here are three great ways to help support graduate education and students at UNC Charlotte:
The Center for Graduate Life and Learning is the heart of graduate education at UNC Charlotte and provides an intellectually stimulating and rich learning environment in which graduate students from across disciplines can build community and cultivate a sense of identification with the University as a whole. The CGLL strives to fulfill its mission by providing a welcoming space set aside exclusively for graduate students, as well as through a wide range of programming developed, implemented, and promoted specifically for and by graduate students.
Outstanding UNC Charlotte students are supported by generous donors to the Graduate School through a variety of fellowships including the Craig R. Brown Graduate Fellowship. These fellowships award select doctoral and master’s students with funding for a period of their academic career. To review a complete list of Graduate School fellowships, visit our funding webpage.
You can designate which fund you want to support, or simply donate to the Graduate School Support Fund and your dollars will go to support the fund in most need.
Claudia Reynolds Graduate Fellowship Fund
The Claudia M. Reynolds Fellowship is a new award established through a gift from Claudia, to support and encourage high-quality graduate students at UNC Charlotte. The Claudia Reynolds Fellowship is open to continuing doctoral or master’s students in any field of study with preference given to non-traditional students who have a desire to make a significant contribution to society by completing the graduate degree.
Coming Together
Niner Nation Community
Every quilt has a story.
Why did I choose the log cabin quilt pattern? It is one of the oldest patterns and my favorite quilt block to make. It has so many design possibilities and can represent many ideas.
Quilt by Claudia M. ReynoldsThe quilt is composed of log cabin blocks. Each block is constructed with logs of similar colorways. The pattern for the block is constant. The fabric combinations are unique to each block. It all works together and is very colorful. The set is called Barn Raising.-Claudia M. Reynolds
