Make a Lasting Impact with Endowment & Scholarship Gifts

At North Carolina Wesleyan University, your gift can shape the future. By supporting scholarships and endowments, you’re investing in students, faculty, and programs that will thrive for generations.

Why Give?

Over 95% of NCWU students rely on scholarships to pursue their education. Your generosity helps make that possible—opening doors, easing financial burdens, and empowering students to succeed.

Endowed Scholarships

Endowed gifts are a powerful way to leave a legacy. With a minimum gift of $10,000, you can create a named endowment that supports students year after year. These funds are invested to provide long-term support for scholarships, faculty development, and academic initiatives. (See List Below)

Annual Scholarships

Prefer to make an immediate impact? Annual named scholarships start at $1,000 and are awarded in full each year and must be renewed by May 31 to be included in the University’s scholarship listings. (See Below)

General Scholarship Fund

Gifts of any amount are always welcome. The General Scholarship Fund helps meet the growing need for financial aid and ensures that no deserving student is left behind. 100% of any donation designated to the scholarship at the time of donation will be awarded as scholarships.
