Friday Adult Learner Scholarship

 

“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 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.

Send your application via email to Dr. Melissa J. Solomon with a subject line of “Friday Adult Learner Scholarship.”

This scholarship is not automatically renewable, but recipients are welcome to reapply in subsequent semesters.
