Shape What's Next for Student Affairs


SAFE Program

The Charlotte SAFE program creates peer mentoring opportunities to help freshmen transition from high school to college by focusing on academics, making connections, and personal growth. SAFE welcomes all students, including those from historically marginalized backgrounds, and encourages active participation in UNC Charlotte support services, academic advising, and campus life.

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.

Charlotte Recovery Program (CRC)

The Charlotte Recovery Program helps students on the path to recovery from substance use. The program offers access to a community that includes therapy, volunteering, social and educational activities. A gift to the Sustainability Fund supports scholarships, student travel, community-building activities, and other resources for Charlotte students in recovery.

Jamil Niner Student Pantry 

One in three college students experiences food insecurity. The Jamil Niner Student Pantry provides assistance to UNC Charlotte students who struggle with food insecurity, so that every student has access to nutritious food. Help us do our part so that no person in the Niner community goes hungry and every student has access to nutritious food.

Student Assistance Fund 

Your gift to the Student Assistance Fund supports students facing unexpected life emergencies. Whether it’s a sudden need for temporary housing, mental health support, or financial relief, this fund can serve as a lifeline to a student navigating a sudden disruption or life crisis. One gift can make a huge difference.
