Giving
Our program provides students with innovative academic and enrichment experiences that encourage them to build themselves a transformative undergraduate experience.
Gifts from alumni and friends to the University Honors Program Enhancement Fund allow us to increase the range and number of high impact experiences we offer students, and to support them as they pursue their own passions, generate new knowledge, become active global citizens, and prepare themselves for the challenges of a rapidly evolving world.
The UHP will participate in NC State’s Day of Giving on March 26, 2025!
Our students are engaged all across campus as leaders in research, the arts, student organizations, and academics.
- There are roughly 500 incoming first-year students in the Honors Program every year, approximately 10% of NC State’s incoming class.
- We offer about 50 unique and innovative HON seminars each year.
- Through participation in Honors Forum, our students are offered opportunities to engage in nearly 300 co-curricular events each semester that range from special lectures and theatre performances to museum visits and workshops.
- We deliver two study abroad programs in Oxford, England, and Florence, Italy that serve over 75 students each year.
- We offer outdoor and cultural explorations programs highlighting the natural and cultural resources of our state, our country, and the world that serve over 150 students each year.
Your support allows us to…
- Provide UHP fee waivers that allow exemplary students with financial need to pursue an honors education;
- Increase the range and number of co-curricular opportunities available to students through Forum and our HON seminars;
- Supplement student income for un-funded and under-funded undergraduate research assistantships and internship positions, allowing students to focus on gaining professionally-relevant experience rather than how they will pay their bills;
- Support students who travel to attend conferences, interview for national and international scholarships, and participate in study abroad programs;
- Give students with financial need the chance to participate in our highly impactful Cultural and Outdoor Explorations trips and Study Abroad opportunities;
- And so much more!
