Scholarships and Fellowships
Mathematics Department Scholarships
The Mathematics Department awards the following scholarships each year, generally in June, to continuing math majors. Usually these scholarships are given to students who do not already have a major scholarship from NC State. Amounts may vary year to year based on fund availability.
PACK ASSIST is the scholarship application portal for Undergraduate students. It is a smart application system designed to simplify the scholarship search and application process. The scholarship application materials will be automatically matched to eligible scholarships.
