Aubrey Lee Brooks Scholarship

Established in 1955 by a Trust endowed by the late Aubrey Lee Brooks, these scholarships are available to graduating high school seniors from a 14-county area of North Carolina. The North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority provides central administration for the Brooks Foundation. The scholarship supports students planning to enroll for the first time as full-time degree-seeking students at N.C. State University, UNC-Chapel Hill, or UNC-Greensboro. Of the 17 scholarships awarded annually, one is designated for a student from the areas of Greensboro and High Point, and one for a senior at the N.C. School of Science and Mathematics who is from an eligible county. Selection criteria include merit, leadership, character, financial need, and the desire of the recipient to prepare for a career as a useful and informed citizen. Brooks Scholars may receive additional funding for summer internships, research or travel abroad, and a one-time computer stipend of $2,500. The scholarship is renewable, provided the recipient has continued financial need, remains enrolled full-time at an eligible institution, maintains a 2.75 cumulative grade point average and good citizenship.
