Top of the State Scholarship Endowment Fund

The Top of the State Scholarship Endowment Fund, administered by the Community Foundation of the North State, supports students pursuing higher education. The program offers opportunities specifically for high school seniors who are preparing to enter college, as well as previous award recipients who are seeking to renew their funding. Because this scholarship is renewable, past recipients can continue to receive financial assistance as they progress through their academic journeys.

To apply, students must complete the foundation's online application process. While the provider evaluates applicants based on their academic goals and background, students should also complete the FAFSA or state financial aid applications to establish their overall financial need, which often coordinates with local scholarship selections. Applicants must submit all required materials through the foundation's portal by the designated deadline. For current dates and detailed application timelines, please see the official page.
