Partnership with Stamps Scholars Program

Beginning in Fall 2025, the Park staff will welcome our first Stamps Scholars into the program! The Class of 2029 includes 10 students who are both Park Scholars and Stamps Scholars. 

This means that support for their scholarships comes from the collaborative funds of the Stamps Foundation and the NC State Park Scholarships Program. 

This is thanks to a recent partnership with the Stamps Scholars Program. With this agreement, the Stamps Scholars Program will match all new current-use and endowment income gifts to the Park Scholarships program, providing these scholarships with an important new source of support and creating an inspiring opportunity for donors to see their gifts have a greater impact.
