Family Council

Family Council Logo

The mission of the UNC Charlotte Family Council is to enrich the 49er student and family experience by supporting impactful engagement opportunities, providing family perspectives, and promoting family philanthropic initiatives.

Members should be parents or guardians of a currently enrolled student. Each member family will serve a one-year, renewable term with the Council, beginning August 1 and running through July 31 of the following year. 

Members of the Family Council will…

  • Attend three business meetings each year—one in the fall semester and two in the spring semester
  • Attend one 49er Family Fund Allocations meeting each spring semester
  • Contribute an annual leadership gift of $2,500 to the 49er Family Fund

Interested in joining the Family Council? Contact Mark Hoover to join or renew your membership.

Family Council Student Scholarship

In 2017, the Family Council created an endowment to fund a student scholarship for academically successful continuing students who are engaged in their community. Scholarships are $1,000 each, and the first was distributed in fall 2019. Students are able to apply for the scholarship through the Niner Scholars portal each year.
