Expanding Fellowship Efforts
Carolina Blue Honors Fellowship to Reach More Students
Carolina Blue Honors Fellowship to Reach More Students
The Carolina Blue Honors Fellowship has been expanded to reach more UNC-Chapel Hill students with additional funding from Carolina alum Ricky May ’80. This will build on the Carolina Blue Fellowship’s momentum and will ensure the long-term success of the program.
During summer 2022, the fellowship will be expanded to provide funding for more than three fellows. Moving forward, up to $15,000 will be awarded annually to provide support for three ambitious undergraduate students to pursue sports-related internships and faculty-mentored research projects in locations beyond the United States.
The Carolina Blue Honors Fellowship was established in 2015 with a gift from May.
Initially, the fellowship was an investment in rising juniors and seniors who spent a summer abroad interning with sports-related start-up companies. Now, the fellowship will also support students who intern or conduct faculty-mentored research on any aspect of sports in an international location. Additionally, rising sophomores are now eligible for the fellowship.
