Donor Gives UNCG $6 Million — Largest Gift Ever
The donor has designated $5 million to provide financial assistance to students. This gift will go a long way in the current economic climate to enhance UNCG’s scholarship program, which awarded only $1.6 million in need-based scholarships in 2007-08.
More than 60 percent of UNCG’s 17,000-plus student body receives financial aid – a total of $42.7 million awarded in grants and scholarships for 2007-08 and a total of $125 million in aid from all sources – with the bulk coming from federal and state sources. Beyond the total awarded, there was an unmet need last year of more than $30 million which required students to take out over $75 million in loans to support their education.
