Giving to the School of Education

At UNCG’s School of Education, we believe education unlocks opportunity. Our mission is simple: change lives by expanding access to learning.

Our students and faculty have the vision.

You have the power to fuel their mission.

  • You believe in education.
  • You want to make an impact.
  • You’re inspired to help others thrive.

Your gift creates opportunity—for students, educators, and communities.

    Annual gifts support the School’s greatest needs—from scholarships to innovative programs.

    Join the John H. Cook Champions for Education with a gift of $1,000+ annually.

    Your support honors the extraordinary and innovative leadership of Dr. John H. Cook, the first Dean of the School of Education, and puts the focus on the champions who make the work we do possible.

    Endowments are lasting gifts that grow over time.
    They fund scholarships, research, and leadership opportunities—forever.

    Naming endowments and other funds begin at this level.

    Start a named endowment with a gift of $50,000+.

    These gifts may be pledged and fulfilled over a period of years.

    Make a lasting impact—today or tomorrow.

    Planned gifts offer financial benefits for you and your family while supporting future generations.

    Inspirational Educators

    Wishing to recognize the significant impact so many educators have made in the lives of students, the UNC Greensboro School of Education launched a new initiative in 2018 honoring Inspirational Educators. All monies raised through the nomination of Inspirational Educators will fund new Student Excellence Awards for UNC Greensboro School of Education students. When you nominate an Inspirational Educator, your gift not only honors a legacy, but inspires our students and helps us provide them with the best preparation possible.
