The Outstanding Women’s Awards

The Outstanding Women’s Awards, sponsored by the Panhellenic Association, recognizes women who have made a significant impact at NC State and in the local community. The awards given are sponsored by the Panhellenic Association, but not limited to affiliated women and we encourage all undergraduate women at NC State to apply!  

The applicants are judged in five categories: Academics, Leadership, Campus Involvement, Community and Philanthropic Impact, and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Initiatives.

The applicant with the highest score in each category will receive a $500 scholarship that will go towards their NC State bill. The woman with the highest overall score will be recognized as the Most Outstanding Woman and will receive a $1,000 scholarship. All winners of scholarships will have scholarships applied to their bills for the Fall 2025 semester.
