About Guarantee Scholars Program
Established in 2010, the Guarantee Scholars Program (GSP) has supported more than 300 scholars as they navigate their academic journey at UNCG. GSP is a 4-year, cohort-based experience designed to help students thrive—personally, academically, and professionally, with a special focus on first-year success.
Guarantee Scholars (GS) receive financial support that significantly reduces or eliminates the cost to attend UNCG, along with individualized guidance, access to campus resources, and a meaningful co-curricular experience starting in their first year.
Guided by regular GS feedback, research-based practices, and campus-wide partnerships, GSP continually evolves to meet the needs of UNCG’S changing student population. Thanks to generous support from the UNCG community, GSP consistently achieves strong retention from first to second year and an outstanding four-year graduation rate.
Our mission is to empower academically promising NC residents with significant financial need by providing access to higher education, holistic skill development opportunities, and a strong support system starting in their first year to foster personal, academic, and professional success.
Our vision is to support scholars throughout their four-year academic journey as they grow in self-awareness, lead purposefully, and engage meaningfully within the Guarantee Scholars Program and broader UNCG community—achieving lasting personal, academic, and professional success.
The Guarantee Program is one of many communities on this campus that students have an opportunity to be a part of as a Spartan. We strive to be a community that contributes to the experiences of all Spartans through our value-based leadership. Below you will find the values that we practice:
