Areas of priority include:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Student, faculty and staff development<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tutoring support for all students in the Wilson College of Textiles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hosting educational seminars<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Travel to top industry conferences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The retention of talented faculty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Innovative new programs and facilities<br><br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>NCTF Centennial Scholarship Endowment: <\/strong>The North Carolina Textile Foundation (NCTF) Centennial Scholarship Endowment provides life-changing, merit-based scholarships to undergraduate students who are pursuing a degree at the Wilson College of Textiles. By covering the costs of tuition, education fees and enrichment activities, the NCTF Centennial Scholarship Endowment empowers students to focus solely on their world-class education.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Textiles Diversity and Inclusion Fund: <\/strong>Equity, which is one of the central values for the Wilson College of Textiles, is essential to the college&#8217;s success. The Textiles Diversity and Inclusion Fund finances culture-building initiatives for students, faculty and staff. In turn, this support builds the college&#8217;s cultural competence and fosters a climate of inclusivity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Each of these funds enhances the student experience, and no gift to support them is too small. Recognition begins at the $100 giving level, and a gift of $1,000 or more qualifies you for our&nbsp;Dean\u2019s Circle&nbsp;leadership giving society in addition to the benefits and recognition of the Chancellor\u2019s Circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supporting the college with an annual donation is crucial in allowing the college to meet the immediate needs and priorities that private support provides. Annual&nbsp;giving&nbsp;demonstrates your commitment to supporting the best efforts of our students and faculty in textile education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Your Gift<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can give via one of several easy methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ncst-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ncst-button is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/give.ncsu.edu\/textiles\" class=\"btn ncst-block__button-link\" data-ncst-lightbox=\"false\" data-ua-cat=\"Button Block\" data-ua-action=\"Button Click\" data-ua-label=\"https:\/\/give.ncsu.edu\/textiles\"><span class=\"text\">By giving online via credit card <\/span><span class=\"arrow-indicator\">\n<svg class=\"wp-block-ncst-wolficon wolficon\" role=\"img\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#wolficon-arrow-right-bold\"\/><\/svg>\n<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>By a check payable to \u201cNorth Carolina Textile Foundation.\u201d Please indicate the name of the program or fund you\u2019ve chosen on the check.

An endowed scholarship is permanently funded by the donor, and scholarships are awarded from investment income. Endowed scholarships may be funded over a period of several years as the donor desires.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>For an annual scholarship, the donor contributes each year for that year\u2019s scholarship. Scholarship amounts vary with the donor\u2019s annual contribution. We strongly encourage donors to commit to four years of scholarship support: Incoming first-year students are awarded scholarships, and these scholarships are renewed for three additional years, given appropriate academic progress and grade point averages.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Centennial Scholarships:&nbsp;<\/strong>Named to honor the college\u2019s 100th anniversary, these are the top scholarships awarded by the NCTF, at a minimum of $15,000 per year for four years. The scholarship also provides $7,500 as a special enrichment fund that may be used for study abroad, leadership programs, career explorations or other approved enrichment activities. Centennials are awarded to incoming first-year students on the basis of academic achievement in high school, proven and potential leadership qualities, involvement in extracurricular activities and unique life experiences. All Centennial Scholars take part in a unique honors class during their first year.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>NCTF Distinguished Merit and Prestige Scholarships:<\/strong>&nbsp;Named donor scholarships are awarded to incoming first-year students. Each is awarded for four years and ranges in value from $2,500 to $5,000 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>NCTF Merit Graduate Fellowships:&nbsp;<\/strong>Fellowships for graduate students provide up to $10,000 per year to support their teaching and research and to cover the costs of health insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Textile Pioneer Scholarships:&nbsp;<\/strong>The scholarship provides funding to students from non-metropolitan North Carolina areas who have an interest in the textile industry. The Textile Pioneer Scholarship is the college\u2019s first need-based scholarship, and it provides a minimum of $14,000 per year for four years and $4,000 in enrichment funds to incoming first-year students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ncst-accordion-item ncst-accordion-item panel\"><a class=\"accordion-item__header collapsed\" href=\"#ncst-accordion-item-1\" id=\"ncst-accordion-item-heading-1\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#ncst-accordion-item-1\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"accordion-item__expansion-indicator\"><span class=\"ncst-plus-minus-toggle\"><\/span><\/span><h2 class=\"accordion-item__label h5\">Professorships<\/h2><\/a><div class=\"collapse panel-collapse accordion-item__content-container \" id=\"ncst-accordion-item-1\" aria-labelledby=\"ncst-accordion-item-heading-1\" data-parent=\"#ncst-accordion-0\"><div class=\"accordion-item__content\">\n\n<p>An endowed professorship requires a contribution of $1 million.
