The Park Scholarships program at North Carolina State University has selected 345 Semifinalists for the Class of 2020 – the twenty-first class of Park Scholars. Candidates were selected from an exceptionally talented pool of just over 2,000 applicants based on outstanding accomplishments and potential in scholarship, leadership, service, and character.

A list of the Semifinalists is available here.

Small groups of NC State and Park alumni will conduct interviews with Semifinalists, either in person or by phone, on January 9-10.

Semifinalists will be notified of their status on January 27. Approximately 100 Finalists will be invited to the NC State campus to participate in Final Selection Activities on February 19-20.

Following careful review of their application materials and performance in Semifinalist interviews and Final Selection Activities, all Finalists will be notified of their status on March 3.

The Park Scholarships program will announce the Class of 2020 in mid-May.

The Park Scholarships program, now in its twentieth year, is named for the late Roy H. Park ‘31, an NC State alumnus who created the charitable Park Foundation, dedicated to education, media, and the environment. Approximately 35 scholarships will be awarded this year to outstanding high school seniors for undergraduate study in any discipline at NC State.
