The Boldest Goal

"Our intention is to give our students the edge they need..."

Carolina is committed to providing access and an affordable education to its students, regardless of their backgrounds. We aim to attract the very best students to our campus, and help them succeed.

To affirm this commitment, we created the Carolina Edge. The Carolina Edge is the boldest goal in the Campaign for Carolina, and it’s at the heart of our identity and vision. We will raise $1 billion in scholarships and aid for students. No matter where our students come from, when they get here, they make everyone around them better.
