About the Scholarship
The Scholarship award exists to recognize students who have grown significantly in their time at UNC. It funds a transformative summer experience, of up to $5,000, and provides $15,000 of support towards tuition for the scholar’s senior year.
Finalists will be expected to discuss a general idea of their potential summer plans. We will help you develop your summer experience if you are chosen to be an Eve Carson Scholar.
