24-Hour Challenge

24-Hour Challenge: A Tremendous Success

From 6 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 6 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7, priceless gems from across the globe came together (virtually) to support some of Carolina’s most academically gifted and multitalented African American students. Gifts from approximately 200 donors totaled more than $125,000 and will provide scholarships for new and returning Light on the Hill Society and Peppers scholars.

Because of the continuous support of Carolina alumni and friends, all scholarships are renewable for up to three years.

  • Peppers Scholars receive $4,000, annually.
  • Light on the Hill Society Scholars receive $2,000, annually.

Thank You For Accepting the Challenge

Whether your gift was made during the 24-Hour Challenge, on the UNC Black Alumni Reunion registration form, during Tar Heel Service Day or anytime during 2020, we are most grateful to the following alumni and friends who accepted the call to inspire, believe and achieve.
