Recipients must demonstrate a sound record of academic achievement at the high school, college, and/or university level. Preference will be given to students residing in the State of NC who are majoring in business or a related field. In the selection process, if all factors appear to be equal between two students, preference will be given to one who has a demonstrated financial need. Scholarships will be automatically renewable upon successful completion of the previous year’s work.
