Carolina Nursing Senior Class Campaign
Hello Carolina Alumni! We're excited to announce the Carolina Nursing Senior Class Campaign! Each year, the graduating BSN and ABSN classes leave their mark on Carolina by giving back to the School of Nursing. This year, the Class of 2024 has chosen to provide scholarships to recognize outstanding students who demonstrate leadership and advocacy within the nursing profession, among their peers, and towards their patients.
We aim to raise a minimum of $2,000 for this scholarship, allowing us to award $1,000 to both a graduating BSN and ABSN student. However, with your generous support, we can exceed this goal and provide even more scholarship funding!

To support the senior class campaign, we invite you to pre-order a UNC School of Nursing embroidered fleece jacket. Priced at $50, with a shipping option available, all profits from the sale will directly contribute to the scholarship fund.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to reach out to Christine Salcedo at cps258@live.unc.edu.
