Each year, the Carolina Parents Council selects new and innovative programs/events for funding through the Parents Council Grant Fund.  These funds consist of monies raised from the Parents Council members of undergraduate students and emeritus members of the Council.  The Parents Council has granted substantial funding to several academic and student affairs departments for programs/events that contribute to the quality of undergraduate student life and learning at Carolina.  While grant awards from the Council can be given in varying amounts, the maximum amount for an award is $15,000.

All grant applications must be submitted in full by Monday, November 3, 2014 at 5PM.  If the applicant is a student working through a department or unit within the University, the department or unit must be the sponsor and oversee the grant application and any award if granted.  This specific grant process does not accept or review individual student or club group’s financial requests.
