Developing Leadership for Social Change
Caldwell Fellows are a driven group. But what compels them to action might surprise you. A program rooted in the premise that investment in the lives of promising young adults makes a difference, the students who comprise the Caldwell Fellows are a community of leaders driven by service, not self-interest.
Created to honor the legacy of Chancellor Emeritus John T. Caldwell, the program carries on the spirit and ideals that made him such a memorable part of the University. The Caldwell Fellows community embrace the responsibilities brought by the privilege of higher education; a responsibility for service to NC State, to North Carolina and the world.
Caldwell Fellowships are the only university-wide merit award for first-year students at NC State. Through a rigorous selection process each spring, about twenty-five new Fellows are selected from among the freshman class. Fellows receive a three-year tuition allotment, as well as annual enrichmment stipends for study abroad, professional/self-development, and service experiences.
