Administered by the North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority (NCSEAA), these $3,000 annual scholarships are available for students enrolled at one of the 16 public campuses of the University of North Carolina this fall. The Golden LEAF Scholars Program is funded by a grant from the Golden LEAF Foundation, a long-term economic advancement foundation.

Application deadline is March 17, 2008. Students who apply after this date will be considered, if funds remain available. The Golden LEAF application and program information for new students are available at www.CFNC.org/goldenleaf.
