ALUMNI PARTICIPATION VITAL – Alumni who contribute to UNCW provide much more than financial assistance. Each gift represents their confidence in the university and its commitment to provide students with the most powerful learning experience possible. Gifts to the alumni association, a department, a scholarship or other worthy program are about much more than the money. It’s about your participation in the life of your alma mater. Your gift – whether $1 or $1,000 or more – shows you care about what happens at UNCW. Corporations and foundations look at alumni giving percentages when evaluating grant requests, and U.S.News and World Report factors the percentage into its statistical formula when ranking universities. Make a difference at UNCW. Give to an area that touches your heart and reminds you of the wonderful experiences you had as a student. Gifts received before June 30, 2007, will count toward the university’s alumni giving rate for fiscal year 2006-07. UNCW hopes to achieve at least a 14.5 percent alumni giving rate for the year. To make a gift or fulfill your pledge, please call 910.962.3751 or 866.468.6291 or download a gift form.

LIFELONG LEARNING - Continue learning for a lifetime.

ADMISSIONS - UNCW is one of the South’s best public undergraduate teaching institutions as evidenced by a high demand from talented students seeking admission, national recognition and growth in regionally relevant programs such as marine science, gerontology, public administration and film studies.
