Green Tie Gala 2024

Each year, Charlotte awards more than 1,500 scholarships to transfer, undergraduate and graduate students. There's simply not enough scholarships to meet the incredible demand for higher-education funding from our University's more than 30,000 students!

To support deserving students, the UNC Charlotte Alumni Association hosts the annual Green Tie Gala. This exciting event raises funds to support student scholarships while also offering an evening of fun for all alumni and friends of UNC Charlotte.

• Evergreen Scholarship Fund: Not sure which scholarship fund to support? The university's general scholarship fund, the Evergreen Scholarship, has a single goal in mind: help UNC Charlotte students graduate! The Evergreen Scholarship Fund allows the university to combine several donors' gifts, regardless of size, to leverage additional funding for students to get them over a small financial hurdle. 
• 49er Alumni Campus Employee (ACE) Scholarship: was established in 2019 to provide scholarship opportunities for current UNC Charlotte student employees.
• 49er Legacy Scholarship: supports students who have at least one parent, step-parent, or grandparent who is an alumnus/a of UNC Charlotte, through either the undergraduate or graduate program.
• Alumni Association Scholarship for Social Justice: created by the Alumni Association to support and lift up current students engaged in social action, racial justice and equity efforts in their communities,  this scholarship provides annual support to returning undergraduate students with demonstrated financial need, demonstrated potential for academic success in their chosen program of study and a demonstrated record of service or social action either at UNC Charlotte, in the greater Charlotte community, or in the student's hometown.
• Alumni Book Scholarship: was established with generous contributions from alumni to provide assistance to students to cover the cost of books. 
• Bank of America UNC Charlotte Alumni Scholarship: was formed to connect 1,000+ University alumni at Bank of America together under one group. The goals of this affinity group are to encourage individual connectedness among teammates located within close proximity to one another, build out a broadly reaching professional network across the enterprise, and find opportunities to give back to the University together. The Bank of America UNC Charlotte Alumni Scholarship provides financial support to a full-time UNC Charlotte undergraduate student. 
• Betty M. Stancil Scholarship Endowment: was established in 2017 in memory of 43-year career UNC Charlotte employee Betty Stancil.  Betty was a special person to her family, friends and UNC Charlotte, and her positive example and legacy will lives on through this scholarship that provides scholarship support to an undergraduate UNC Charlotte student with demonstrated financial need, who is a resident of Cabarrus or Mecklenburg County
• Black Alumni Chapter Scholarship Fund: provides a minimum of one scholarship annually to an upperclassman with an emphasis on student success and graduation.
• Dr. Gregory Davis Alumni Association Scholarship Fund: Greg Davis was a 21-year-old high school freshman who had been labeled mentally disabled when he dropped out of school in 1972. He received his GED from Central Piedmont Community College. Four years later, he became one of the first African Americans to graduate from UNC Charlotte's Religious Studies program. Davis earned a master of divinity degree from Duke and a Ph.D. in American religious history from the Union Institute. Davis went on to oversee minority retention programs at the University with a focus on mentoring first-generation college students. When he retired as director of multi­-cultural affairs in 2008, his decades-long commitment to the University was rewarded with the needs-based Dr. Gregory Davis Alumni Association Scholarship Fund established in his honor by the Alumni Association Board of Directors. 
• Yvette M. Huet Si Se Puede Scholarship: This scholarship was established to provide academic support to full time and part time students of any major or minor who have demonstrated experience in or a commitment to uplifting Latinx communities. *Please note that donations towards this fund will help it build towards endowment.
