Gifts of stocks and property are often used to fund scholarships. The University Foundation is prepared to assist with these types of gifts. Other scholarships are planned and funded through wills. Merit scholarships in any academic area are our greatest need. They assist UNCW as it actively recruits and retains top academic students.
Fellowships are scholarships for graduate students.
The university encourages all scholarship recipients to acknowledge their donors. UNCW provides an opportunity each fall for donors and recipients to meet at a reception. The university will provide the donor with the name and brief information about the recipient.
