We’ve got to build upon this tradition now – make it wider, deeper, richer.
William C. Friday
Each fall and spring semester, the Friday Adult Learner Scholarship awards $750 to three part-time, degree-seeking, undergraduate students age 24 or older studying at UNC-Chapel Hill. The scholarship is named for former UNC President Bill Friday, who strove to make a University education available to all citizens of North Carolina. The scholarship can be applied to college expenses for the semester for either Carolina Courses Online or Part-time Classroom Studies. Funding for the scholarship comes from donor contributions.
