UNCW's Greatest Needs (UNCW Fund)

Approximately 97% of all gifts to UNCW are designated by donors for a specific purpose. Unrestricted gifts are incredibly important though because they enable the Chancellor to meet unforeseen challenges and new opportunities as they arise. In previous years, gifts to the UNCW Fund have aided in:

 

  • Providing study abroad scholarships to students who otherwise could not afford the opportunity to travel abroad

 

  • Programming support offered through the Center for Teaching Excellence which assists faculty in developing and improving course curriculum

 

  • Supporting ETEAL initiatives that let students engage in real-world, practical experiences like using iPads to perform accurate geological surveying in the field, marketing students consulting a U.S. business looking to expand its operations overseas or offering video equipment to film students tasked with producing a documentary
