Innovate Carolina works to strengthen UNC’s innovation ecosystem to meet the needs of faculty, students, staff, and community members as they translate their novel ideas into practical benefit and change the world.  Innovate Carolina connects resources, people, and programs with existing and emerging opportunities.  

We are offering sponsorships for projects, programs, guest speakers as well as travel to competitions, conferences, and events which further the innovative mindset and skillset of students.  

Your financial support is a training grant award and paid through your student account. If you are a financial aid recipient and enrolled in courses when you receive the award, this counts as a resource toward your financial need and is factored into your aid package. All awards will show on your Student Center account in Connect Carolina. If your Connect Carolina account shows a balance when the award is processed (because you owe money for tuition or fees), the award will be applied to that deficit and in most cases, reduce your loan deficit. If/when financial aid is processed or you make a payment and your account shows no balance or an excess of funds, that excess will be sent to you. If your aid has already been awarded, the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid will send a revised award letter. We recommend you consult with the Office of Financial Aid and a tax advisor before accepting to understand any potential implications of receiving these funds.
