"The financial support that UNCW has given me is invaluable. Through tuition assistance and a graduate teaching assistantship, I can focus on my training to become a proficient clinical psychologist. In turn, this will help me provide crucial mental health services to underserved rural communities in the future."

Hear from who you impact - Erin Burney, MS Biology

“The Owen Graham Kenan Scholarship lifted a huge financial burden off my shoulders and allowed me to fully focus on developing my research and thesis. I was able to attend a workshop at another university learning field techniques applicable to my research - an opportunity I likely would have missed without the help of this scholarship. The classes I have taken using these funds have taught me invaluable skills I am directly applying during my research including programming and statistical knowledge, microscopy techniques, and more.”

Hear from who you impact - Helen Piner, M.A. English student

“I am forever grateful for the support I have received during my time as a graduate student at UNCW working toward my MA degree in English. Thanks to the generosity of donors, I was able to participate in a travel fellowship to study in Edinburgh, Scotland, and I have also had the privilege of a graduate teaching assistantship, which has not only made it possible for me to afford my master’s degree but has also greatly enriched my education and personal growth. The avenues I have been able to explore because of funding support has made clear to me the substantial effect donors can have on the world around them through their support of the growth of Seahawks.”
