Description
The Golden LEAF Scholarship for public university students is funded through a grant from the Golden LEAF Foundation.

Priority for scholarships will be given to students from families adversely affected by the decline of the tobacco industry. The selection criteria for applicants will not include the value of real property owned by farm families.

Students who have earned four-year (bachelor) degrees are not eligible for consideration.

Value
The Golden LEAF Scholarship is valued at $3,000 for the 2008-09 academic year ($1,500 for the Fall 2008 semester and $1,500 for the Spring 2009 semester). A total of 580 scholarships will be available for new and renewal students.

Application Procedure
The Golden Leaf Scholarship application for new applicants is online and may be accessed by completing the scholarship application tool (the Scholarship Wizard). The priority deadline for applying is March 17, 2008.

Applications from students renewing their Golden LEAF scholarships received at public universities, and for students transferring in Fall 2008 to four-year campuses from North Carolina community colleges will be accepted until funds are exhausted.

Previous recipients of the Golden LEAF Scholarship at public universities received renewal information by email. Renewal candidates who did not receive information should contact Robbie Schultz at Robbie@ncseaa.edu.
