Levine Scholars Program-UNC Charlotte

The Levine Scholars Program has a four-step scholarship nomination/application process that includes the following:

• Nomination: Students must be nominated online by their school counselor at their current high school. There is no limit to the number of students that can be nominated from each high school. Homeschooled students can be nominated by a professor or teacher who is not related to the student. The online nomination form will be available on August 15. Nominations will be accepted until October 8, 2017.

• Application for Admission: Students should create a Future 49er Portal. This account will allow them to access, complete and submit the online freshman admissions application. Applications and application materials (transcript and test scores) must be received by November 1, 2017.

• Completion of a Levine Supplemental Scholarship Application: Once students have been nominated, they will receive an email directing them to the Levine Scholars Portal where they will find the supplemental scholarship application and essay questions. Students should complete Section A of the application immediately so that emails can be sent to those individuals who will be writing letters of recommendation. The entire supplemental application must be completed and submitted online by November 8, 2017.

• Submission of Online Recommendations: Students can have up to three recommendations submitted on their behalf, but only two recommendations will be required. The first required recommendation should be from someone with direct knowledge of their academic potential and accomplishments; the second required recommendation should be from someone with direct knowledge of their commitment to community service and capacity for ethical leadership. The third, optional, recommendation can be from anyone who has known the student in an academic or community setting. Students will be asked to submit the names and email addresses of their two required recommenders and one optional recommender when completing the supplemental scholarship application. The recommenders will be sent an email immediately directing them to a link to the online recommendation form. The recommendation submission deadline is November 8, 2017.
