The Niblock Scholars helps incoming freshmen or transfer students grow into leaders who are involved and committed to their professional development. The program is available for all incoming students who intend to enroll in majors within the college.
The Niblock scholarship awards $5,000 to each student annually to help with the cost of attending UNC Charlotte and is renewable for up to four years, a total of $20,000 for each student. In addition to financial support, the students receive enhanced professional development opportunities, including mentoring and leadership training.
The Niblock Scholars program was established in 2021 through a gift from Belk College alumni Robert and Melanie Niblock. Incoming students who are interested in the program can apply through the NinerScholars Portal.
