The Shuford Program in Entrepreneurship helps students develop an entrepreneurial mindset that will benefit them in any career path they choose. More than 2,000 students have graduated from Carolina with a minor in entrepreneurship, and thanks to the extraordinary support of the Shuford family in 2017, the Program will continue to change the lives of our future Tar Heel entrepreneurs.
Your philanthropic support is still needed to fuel this entrepreneurial spirit in students. The Program’s success depends on the generous gifts of many alumni, parents, donors and friends. Please consider making a gift today to the “Friends of the Shuford program Fund,” which supports the high-impact courses and experiential learning opportunities in the Shuford Program.
One example of how your support can make a difference is through the Shuford Summer Away Program. Since 2006, our students are ecstatic to participate in the Shuford Summer Away Program, and your generous support can help relieve the financial burden for students who are selected for this incredible experience.

“Never having traveled outside the country, joining the Shuford Away Program in Prague was not just personally enriching but also a significant milestone for me… It was exciting to immerse myself in a new cultural atmosphere and be able to apply the skills honed in the Shuford Program within an international context. This experience aligned seamlessly with my aspirations to grow into the well-rounded powerhouse entrepreneur that I aspire to be.”
– Jaziah Planter ’25, Summer Away in Prague Student 2024
