"This is an excellent step toward enhancing our ongoing efforts to provide a significant number of merit-based scholarships that can make a real difference in enhancing future first-year classes that are already quite strong academically," Moeser said. "These scholarships are essential if we are going to continue competing effectively with the nation’s very best public and private colleges for the best students and faculty." That change will allow 25 percent of those funds, which currently go to the department of athletics, to be used to generate a new pool of funds for merit-based scholarships. The other 75 percent of the trademark revenue – generated by the sales of T-shirts and other merchandise with the Tar Heel name and logos – will still continue to support general scholarships, primarily need-based financial aid. In 2003-04, the university’s net trademark licensing royalties and related investment proceeds generated nearly $3.5 million for distribution, with $2.6 million going for student scholarships and about $868,000 going toward athletics. These revenue figures typically fluctuate each year.

The athletics department will receive revenue from a new student athletic fee rate as part of a plan approved by the trustees and UNC Board of Governors to enhance the school's Olympic sports program. The university’s twenty eight-sport athletics program is among the country's most comprehensive; Olympic sports have played a major role in its success.
