Celebrating five decades of Project Uplift
From SAT/ACT prep and academic explorations to Franklin Street tours and a culture show, Project Uplift gives high school students a complete 360-degree view of life as a college student.
For five decades, Project Uplift has given rising high school seniors a small taste of college life — they sleep in a residence hall, eat in a dining hall, attend classes and interact with faculty, staff and students.
Project Uplift Scholars immerse themselves in college life and experience the academic rigor of a four-year institution while also seeing the social and cultural opportunities higher education has to offer.
Sponsored by the University Office for Diversity and Inclusion, the intense two-day program brings high-achieving and academically competitive students from underrepresented groups to Chapel Hill to help prepare them for the next chapter of their academic careers.
