Episode 32: The Past, Present and Future of the Park Scholarships Program

On the Season 5 premiere of the NC State Philanthropy Podcast, we’re joined by Eva Feucht, director of the Park Scholarships program, to talk about its invaluable role here at NC State — and a milestone it’s celebrating this fall.

The Park Scholarships program was established in 1996 through the generosity of the Park Foundation, which was created by NC State alumnus Roy H. Park ’31. Following Park’s passing, his family established the scholarship program to commemorate his love for his alma mater and to help others succeed during their own time on campus. Feucht is one of those alumni, having graduated in 2002 as part of Park’s third class of students.

Other donors have joined the Park Foundation in supporting the scholarship program over the years, making gifts of all sizes to power its efforts. A new partnership with the Stamps Scholars program will enable even more Park Scholars to join the Wolfpack and then make a lasting impact on the world around them as NC State alumni.
