Limited Submission Scholar Awards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These programs are often limited-submission in nature, and may require nominations by a candidate\u2019s Department Head and\/or the University. If necessary, an internal competition to select the most competitive candidate will be implemented inline with our standard limited submission process. A selection of those opportunities of interest to NC State faculty is presented in the table below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
