Parent & Family Advisory Council (PFAC)

---

The Parent & Family Advisory Council (PFAC), comprised of parents of current UNCG undergraduate students, is charged with serving as the board for the Parent & Family Association. The PFAC meets bi-annually to discuss current issues and ideas concerning the UNCG community. They also assist in planning events, contribute to publications for UNCG families, help raise funds for special projects, recruit new members to the Parent & Family Association, and serve as presenters at SOAR and other UNCG events.

Mission

The mission of the Parent & Family Advisory Council of The University of North Carolina at Greensboro is to strengthen the quality of the UNCG educational experience by promoting communication, inspiring good will and support for the University, and enhancing high quality programs and educational opportunities for students.

PFAC Scholarship

The Parent & Family Advisory Council, in conjunction with the Office of Orientation & Family Programs, is responsible for administering the Parent & Family Advisory Council scholarship annually. The purpose of the scholarship is to recognize students who have inspired good will and support for the University. Students applying must be in good academic and conduct standing, have at least one family member who is a member of the Parent & Family Association, and have engaged in activities on- or off-campus that have fostered good will and support for UNCG.

All students interested in applying must submit an online application and letter of reference. To access the online application and review full application details, click HERE. The application deadline is Friday, April 10 at 5:00pm. If you have questions about the scholarship or application process, contact Megan Moore, Assistant Director of Orientation & Family Programs, at mpmoore@uncg.edu or (336) 334-5231.

The Parent & Family Advisory Council scholarship has been made possible through generous donations from UNCG parents and family members to the Spartan Families Fund. If you would like more information about or are interested in contributing to the Spartan Families Fund, please contact Terri Clark at (336) 334-5984 or t_burris@uncg.edu.

The PFAC scholarship is awarded during the spring semester and applications will be available in March.
