For Parents and Families
Parents and Families of Park Candidates
We expect candidates to take responsibility for managing their own Park Scholarships application process; however, parents and family members can assist by offering to proofread and provide feedback on essays and other materials. While most questions about the process are addressed in the Frequently Asked Questions and Calendar sections of this website, additional queries should always come from the applicant directly, rather than from family members.
Parents and Families of Park Scholars
The Park Scholarships program hosts an information session for parents and families on the day new scholars arrive on campus for the start of their freshman year. Parents and families are also invited to celebrate their students' completion of the Park Scholarships program at a Senior Gala, which coincides with graduation activities.
Beyond these formal programs, Park parents and family members are welcome to contact our staff, visit our office, and become involved with various initiatives that support the Park Scholarships mission.

Parents are an important part of Park Scholars' lives, whether attending NC State's Parents and Families Weekend festivities or helping move their sons and daughters into residence halls.
