The $1,000 scholarship is open to students who will be working toward a master’s degree at any of the University of North Carolina campuses in fall 2020 (this includes students in the first several years of a combined master’s/Ph.D. program).

• Identify changes to CoHab’s business model for a compelling, defensible growth strategy (e.g., asset light vs. asset heavy, focus on built environment vs. resident experience, etc.)
• Other ideas and topics you propose!
