University Priorities

Since our founding on September 23, 1946, UNC Charlotte has transformed from a night school serving World War II veterans into a vibrant research university, making it one of the great success stories of American higher education. With characteristic grace and determination, our founder, Bonnie E. Cone worked tirelessly for the University, motivating students, winning friends, and attracting benefactors.

As we continue to honor Miss Bonnie's legacy and keep her tradition of serving others alive, we encourage you to support UNC Charlotte students by making a gift of any size to one of our student success initiatives.

Evergreen Scholarship Fund

The Evergreen Scholarship Fund is a unique and flexible scholarship fund designated to help our students with their ultimate goal - to graduate. This criteria allows us to identify the changing needs of our diverse group of students over time to help them meet their goals.

As a result, the Evergreen Scholarship Fund allows the University to combine several donors' gifts, regardless of size, to leverage additional funding for students to get them over a small financial hurdle.

Joan F. Lorden Graduate Opportunity Fund

The Joan F. Lorden Graduate Opportunity Fund is a fellowship that is available to students undertaking any course of graduate study who have demonstrated financial need and academic excellence. Administered by the Graduate School, the fund will provide financial resources for deserving graduate students in any discipline.
