Supporting Student Veterans
UNC Charlotte is part of a generation of universities founded in metropolitan areas throughout the United States immediately after World War II in response to rising education demands generated by the war and its technologies. Today, UNC Charlotte continues to honor and assist student veterans in their educational journeys through the Veteran Services Office. Please consider making a gift to support UNC Charlotte student veterans.
