In the last decade, Honors College enrollment has increased 100% and we are so proud to recruit, nurture and retain world-class, diverse undergraduates for UNC Charlotte. However, approximately half of the 200+ Honors College students who joined us this year have unmet financial need. Often, these students cannot take full advantage of Honors College co-curricular experiences.
Support from alumni and friends like you can help us lift up the next generation of honors scholars.
