Global Gap Year Fellowship
UNC is an internationally renowned University with a long legacy of community service. Interested students can now combine their love for travel and commitment to service by applying for the new Global Gap Year Fellowship.
The fellowship is made possible by an anonymous donation of $1.5 million aimed at students who would be otherwise financially unable to fund a gap year. This year, UNC will be selecting seven incoming first-year students for a Global Gap Year Fellowship. The fellowship provides $7,500 to each student for use toward a gap year that is committed to service abroad.
Housed in the Campus Y, Gap Year Fellows will receive support from staff and students as they prepare for their year abroad. Fellows will integrate their experience into their education when they return to campus with the support of Gappl, a student community dedicated to advocating gap years and supporting gappers and Fellows upon their return.
