Goodnight Scholars Program | North Carolina State University

The Goodnight Scholars Program at NC State University, funded by a gift from Dr. Jim and Ann Goodnight, began in 2008 with 25 scholars. Since that time, it has grown into a comprehensive student development program with over 225 scholars per year and is designed to develop scholars into leaders within the STEM and/or education fields. The scholarship is targeted at low- and middle-income families from North Carolina and is limited to students studying in the STEM disciplines or affiliated education majors. The value of the scholarship is $20,000 and is renewable for up to four years for first-year students, and two years for transfer students. In addition to the scholarship, Goodnight Scholars have access to an assortment of developmental programming focused on their professional and personal growth.
