Athens Drive Senior Kimberly Justine Zapko has been awarded the Centennial Scholarship at the NC State University College of Textiles. The scholarship is valued at $47,500 and is among the highest valued scholarships offered at NC State University.
The scholarship covers approximately 80 percent of expenses to attend NC State, and on-campus housing and a meal plan, with any remaining funds to be used as a stipend for books and travel expenses for up to eight semesters. Each Centennial Scholar will have access to a $7,500 enrichment fund that will allow him/her to participate in a variety of leadership, language immersion and international studies programs, attend international textile shows and benefit from other approved textile enrichment opportunities.
Students are selected for the award based upon demonstrated high academic achievement throughout high school with proven and potential leadership qualities, extracurricular activities and unique life experiences.
