Opportunities to give

Support Study Abroad Students

Studying abroad takes students beyond traditional classroom learning to engage with the world around them, truly exemplifying our Think and Do spirit. Scholarships help students with limited resources make this transformative experience a reality.

Your support expands access to study abroad opportunities, ensuring all members of the Pack gain the knowledge and skills essential for success in our interconnected world.

Give to Study Abroad

Support International Students

The International Student Support Fund assists international students who experience unexpected financial hardships during their academic journeys. International students are not eligible for many of the resources available to U.S. citizens, such as government-funded food, housing or medical benefits. Your support ensures that international students can pursue learning, research and teaching at NC State and successfully join our Wolfpack alumni community.

Give to International Students

Support the Prague Fund

The NC State European Center in Prague is the university’s premier international study site. Nearly 400 NC State students participate in the Center’s programs each year, representing a diverse range of disciplines and majors.

Your support enables students to participate in the Center’s programs, including Prague Connect — a unique opportunity for first-year students who are admitted for NC State’s spring semester.

Give to Prague

Support the NC Japan Center Fund

The NC Japan Center provides transformational programs for our students through study, internships and project-based learning in Japan. And here in North Carolina, the Center connects industry, government and academia to drive innovation and local economic development. 

Your contribution enables the NC Japan Center to expand student learning, build career connections and share Japanese culture with communities statewide.

Give to NC Japan Center

Support Global Strategic Initiatives

Global initiatives enable shared discovery, innovation and solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Equally important are opportunities for student learning and preparation for leadership in our rapidly changing landscape.

Funds support international programs across campus and collaborative research projects that address complex global problems and prepare our students and scholars for an increasingly interconnected world.
