Who Can Apply:
- Being the first in one’s family to pursue a college degree is no easy feat and is an experience filled with overwhelming challenges. Especially if you’re also responsible for paying tuition.
- First-generation students often have to be very independent, working on college applications on their own, and having to figure out networking, dress codes, and other aspects of the professional world without family help or mentorship.
- Spaghetti & Butter is named in honor of Harry Stenger, a former first-generation college student who was financially independent and, as an undergraduate, survived off dinners of buttered spaghetti noodles. This scholarship aims to support first-generation students so they can overcome the hurdles they face and achieve their goals.
- Any high school senior in North Carolina who has at least a 3.0 GPA and will be a first-generation college student may apply for this scholarship.
