Application Instructions
Students interested in being considered for the Park Scholarships should follow the steps below. All materials must be submitted by November 1 and are completed online.
Step 1: Apply for undergraduate admission to NC State using the online WolfPAW system.
Step 2: Complete the "Park Scholarships Information" section in WolfPAW. To access this, you must either be endorsed by your high school or you must self-endorse. See below for explanations of each option.
School Endorsment
- Review the Endorsing Schools List, updated annually in late August. If your school is not listed, skip to the Self-Endorsement section below.
- If yours is an endorsing school, speak with your high school's scholarships coordinator (typically, this is a guidance counselor or college counselor) and let him or her know of your interest in receiving your school's endorsement for the Park. Each school on the Endorsing Schools List is permitted to endorse two students, and must make these endorsements by October 1. Endorsees should be the high school's two best candidates according to the Park Scholarships selection criteria of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. If you do not receive your school's endorsement, but believe you are at least as competitive as your school's endorsed candidates, you may self-endorse.
Self-Endorsement
- If you do not attend an endorsing school, but believe you are highly qualified for the Park Scholarships on the basis of scholarship, leadership, service, and character, we encourage you to complete a Self-Endorsement Form. This form is available from late August through October 25.
- If you do not receive your school's endorsement, but believe you are at least as competitive as your school's endorsed candidates, you are welcome to complete a Self-Endorsement Form. This form is available from late August through October 25.
