TO THE EDITOR:
One of the many things that makes UNC students great is their dedication to making a difference, not only on campus but in the community and in the lives of their fellow students and citizens. The Eve Carson Scholarship, a completely student-run junior-year scholarship, celebrates students who have found their passion and demonstrate service, leadership and transformative growth.
Perhaps you or someone you know has a passion for food and started a nonprofit garden that raises fresh, organic produce for low-wage employees at UNC like one of last year’s scholars, Mark Clarke. Or maybe you overcame hearing issues and have been teaching sign language to kids in the area like another scholar.
Scholars are awarded a stipend to pursue their passions during the summer before their senior year and a scholarship covering half the cost of attending the University during their senior year.
The scholarship is now accepting applications at evecarsonscholarship.unc.edu. You must be a junior with a GPA of at least 3.0 and 48 hours of credit to be eligible. The scholarship is due Oct. 12 by 5 p.m. Interested juniors are invited to attend information sessions Wednesday and Thursday at 6:15 p.m. in Dey 307.
