UNCW has a longstanding tradition of parent giving.  Philanthropic support from parents allows UNCW to provide high-quality classroom instruction, outstanding research opportunities, rewarding community service projects and experiences designed to create the best possible learning environment for their children.

 

Gifts to the UNCW Parent Opportunity Fund are unrestricted gifts that will be used at the discretion of the Chancellor to develop programs, bring speakers to campus, support technology upgrades and create other initiatives that will support the following endeavors:

• Broadening of cultural opportunities for students
• Encouragement of student involvement in the campus community and beyond
• Enhancement of the campus environment by maintaining a safe, friendly and naturally attractive campus

In the past parents have also shown their commitment to our mission through gifts to the

• Chancellors Merit Scholarship and the Colonnade Campaign
• UNCW's Current Fundraising Priorities
• Other Areas to Support

In 2007-2008 nearly 3,000 parents contributed more than $882,000, a 146 percent increase in the amount of parent support compared to last year.  All gifts to the university, no matter their size or designation, help us to sustain a level of excellence that defines the UNCW experience.
