Friends of UNCW
The Friends of UNCW, a volunteer organization formed in December 1963 to help Wilmington College (now UNCW) increase the library's holdings from 11,000 volumes to a minimum of 50,000 volumes – a requirement at the time for accreditation as a four-year institution. The Friends met that goal and have been steadfast UNCW supporters for more than 45 years.
The organization's current contributions include supporting a merit scholarship and annually funding special projects based on proposals from UNCW faculty and staff.
News & Events
The Friends of the Library was founded in 1963 to assist in the accreditation of Wilmington College. As our college grew to a university, we followed, becoming Friends of UNCW. Today we support and promote educational, scientific and charitable projects on behalf of the university.
The Friends of UNCW seek proposals for projects that will directly benefit your department but do not require substantial amounts of money. For fiscal year 2013, The Friends of UNCW received 35 grant requests from different departments totaling over $52,000. Twelve awards totaling $10,218.35 were awarded, with individual grant amounts ranging from $400 to $1,500. As in years past, the board anticipates receiving more requests than can be funded, but be assured their selection process involves careful study and evaluation of each proposal.
To apply for a grant, please check back at the beginning of the the Spring 2013 semester. The funding period for the current grants is July 1, 2012 through January 31, 2013; only projects and/or purchases that can be completed during this time frame will be considered. Also, all requests for funds must be approved by the Dean/Department Chair of your area to ensure that the request complies with the educational, research or service mission of the university.
