Outstanding graduate students are the key to the success of any research university.
The driving force behind graduate education is the desire to address business and community needs. The Thomas L. Reynolds 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 6,000 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.

It takes a Nation to support The Graduate School
Looking to take part in #NinerNationGives? Here are three great ways to help support graduate education and students at UNC Charlotte:
Thomas L. Reynolds Center for Graduate Life and Learning Fund
The Thomas L. Reynolds 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 Reynolds 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.
Graduate Fellowships Fund
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.
And now for something a little different. This year's quilt is bold and bright.
The fabric was designed by Kaffe Fassett and comes from my favorite fabric stash. The color combinations he uses just make me smile. I hope this quilt makes you smile.
Quilt is all cotton, cotton batting and machine quilted. Wash and dry. NO BLEACH! No dry cleaning.
It is now your turn to add to this quilt's story.
