The Program Community

The Park Scholarships program is very much a part of NC State, with all the benefits of a small community and the resources of a large campus. Talented faculty and community leaders serve in various capacities to assist and guide the Park Scholars.

Park Faculty Scholars

The Park Faculty Scholars provide academic enrichment for class-related activities. They have four areas of responsibility in working with the Park Scholarships program:

• To monitor and guide class enrichment activities, including the Learning Laboratories;
• To provide the class with an overview of its group responsibilities;
• To advise students individually and as a group on academic issues; and
• To interact with Park Scholarships' administrators, serving as communicators to and for both class activities and individual Park Scholars.
