Pettigrew Hall is named for James Johnston Pettigrew. The Office of Scholarships and Student Aid, located in Pettigrew Hall, embodies the University’s commitment to high-quality education at an affordable price. By meeting all of the documented need of undergraduates who apply for financial aid on time, Carolina ensures that qualified students have the opportunity to enroll, regardless of ability to pay. The University’s hallmark program, the Carolina Covenant, offers students from low income households the opportunity to graduate debt-free.
The Commission on History, Race, and a Way Forward recommended in an April 2021 resolution the the Chancellor that Pettigrew's name be removed from honor based on the following information:
- Pettigrew enriched himself with the plundered labor of enslaved Black men, women and children.
- He took up arms to defend and preserve the institution of racial slavery and to affirm the inalienable right of any "one man" to enslave and profit from "the unwilling labor of another."
- He committed treason by serving as a general officer in the southern Confederacy's war to dissolve the American republic and preserve the institution of racial slavery.
