Expanding Fellowship Efforts

The Carolina Blue Honors Fellowship has been expanded to reach more UNC-Chapel Hill students with additional funding from Carolina alum Ricky May ’80. This will build on the Carolina Blue Fellowship’s momentum and will ensure the long-term success of the program.

During summer 2022, the fellowship will be expanded to provide funding for more than three fellows. Moving forward, up to $15,000 will be awarded annually to provide support for three ambitious undergraduate students to pursue sports-related internships and faculty-mentored research projects in locations beyond the United States.

The Carolina Blue Honors Fellowship was established in 2015 with a gift from May.

Initially, the fellowship was an investment in rising juniors and seniors who spent a summer abroad interning with sports-related start-up companies. Now, the fellowship will also support students who intern or conduct faculty-mentored research on any aspect of sports in an international location. Additionally, rising sophomores are now eligible for the fellowship.
