RALEIGH — NC State has announced a partnership with the Stamps Scholars Program, a prestigious merit-based scholarship initiative.
“We are excited to work with donors who are interested in leveraging the Stamps Scholars Program’s generous matching funds,” said Eva Feucht, director of the Park Scholarships program and a 2002 graduate of the program. “As we approach our 30th anniversary, we see that scholars are making a meaningful difference for many people beyond themselves. An investment in them is an investment in the future.”
This collaboration will match all new gifts to the Park Scholarships with funds from the Stamps program to expand support for the scholarship recipients and extend donor impact. The Park Scholarships program, established in 1996, has been supported by the contributions of nearly 2,000 donors.
The Stamps Scholars Program, founded in 2006 by E. Roe Stamps and his late wife, Penny, seeks to connect exceptional students with extraordinary educational opportunities.
NC State joins 36 other universities collaborating with Stamps, including Georgia Tech and the University of Michigan.
In 2025, the first cohort of students under this partnership will be selected, marking the Class of 2029. This group will have 10 students being named both Park and Stamps Scholars. According to NC State, the incoming cohort will include “approximately 38 students selected from more than 2,500 applications.”
The Park Scholarships program is a four-year scholarship to NC State awarded to applicants for “outstanding accomplishments and potential in scholarship, leadership, service and character.”
Approximately 150 students are selected each year for the Park Scholarships, which cover the cost of tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, and travel and personal expenses.
