UNC is all about people. A community of uncommon individuals - alumni, donors, friends, faculty, staff, students and parents - coming together to invest in something far bigger than one person. Investments in our university will pay forward in common good for generations to come.
"As a nontraditional student, I am so grateful for your support. None of my family members or siblings attended college and I never thought I would either. I am married with three beautiful childresn, and I want to show them that it is never to late to realize your dreams." -Rick Wolf '22
"If I did not receive scholarships, I would not be able to afford college. It amazes me how so many donors see the potential in college students and give their money to those who struggle. They don't care what race or class you are from; they care for your education and wellbeing. This is what makes me so grateful to be who I am and proud to be a Bear." -Rachael Carrillo, '20

Our Impact
Through prudent fiscal management and the generous support of donors like you, the UNC Foundation has made a major impact on our university community.
The foundation manages more than 1,000 funds to provide effective support to the university's teaching, research and outreach priorities.
Over the last twelve years, the UNC Foundation has funded nearly $100 million in program and scholarship support to the University.
On April 1, 1889, the governor of Colorado signed the bill creating the State Normal School to train qualified teachers for the state's public schools. Greeley citizens raised the necessary money for the first building, and the cornerstone was laid on June 13, 1890. The school opened its doors on October 6 with a staff of four instructors and 96 students. Certificates were granted upon the completion of a two year course.
In 1911 the school's name was changed to Colorado State Teachers College by the state legislature. The college was then offering four years of undergraduate work and granting the Bachelor of Arts degree.
In 1935 the name of Colorado State College of Education was adopted to recognize the fully developed graduate program, which was started in 1913. Early in 1957 the state legislature approved shortening the name to Colorado State College. Again, to recognize the further growth of programs and offerings, in 1970 the name was changed once more, this time to the University of Northern Colorado.
