Giving

The College could not have grown so quickly and achieved so much, in a relatively short period of time, without the generosity of those individuals and companies who believe in the College and its mission.

Although UNC Charlotte is a state-supported institution, state funding does not cover the Belk College’s total budget. The difference is generated by student fees, investment income and private support. This funding is especially critical to the Belk College, as we strive to provide an outstanding quality business education and to compete with other top business schools.

As any business professional knows, excellence isn’t created overnight.  It takes solid planning, commitment of leadership, talent, financial resources and hard work.  Attaining this goal requires focused investment in the students, faculty and programs in the core areas listed below:

  • Funding scholarships to address need and merit for our students that remove barriers to entry and attract and retain high-potential students.
  • Supporting our signature programs that have built strong reputations and remain valuable assets to students, alumni and employers.
  • Creating programs for the future by anticipating the needs of tomorrow and building expertise in new areas.
  • Providing students with the complete college experience by building students’ intellectual and personal development.

All gifts, regardless of amount, are used wisely and appreciated greatly.
