The James M. Johnston Awards are UNC’s premier need-based scholarships. Every year, about 70 incoming freshmen are chosen as Johnston Scholars.
Included with this scholarship are special programs such as faculty mentors, Johnston honors seminars and leadership activities. Johnston Scholarships are renewed annually if the recipients achieve a GPA of 2.75 their freshman year and 3.0 each year thereafter.
