Empowering the Next Generation of Textile Leaders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Through the generous support of the North Carolina Textile Foundation, we are able to offer scholarships to both incoming first-year students and incoming transfer students.

History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The support of the North Carolina Textile Foundation<\/a> (NCTF) makes Textiles scholarships possible. The NCTF was established in December 1942 to aid and promote all types of textile education and research at NC State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1971, the then-College of Textiles offered its first merit-based scholarship program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next 50+ years, generous donations and innovative college leadership have led to the expansion of scholarships and programming. In celebration of the college\u2019s centennial anniversary, NCTF established Centennial Scholarships in 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Textile Pioneer Scholarships and transfer scholarships were added in 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n
