GREENSBORO, HIGH POINT, WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. â As part of philanthropist MacKenzie Scottâs historic donation to North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, three of the universityâs colleges have partnered to provide new full scholarships that will be available to eligible students starting next fall, delivering immediate impact for Scottâs visionary investment.Â
The College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, the College of Education and the College of Health and Human Sciences are using a portion of Scottâs $45 million contribution to the university to establish the February One Scholars program.
The program is named for the day in 1960 that four N.C. A&T students energized a national sit-in movement by refusing to leave a segregated lunch counter in downtown Greensboro without being served. The A&T Four are feted annually at the universityâs Feb. 1 celebration and honored in numerous ways across the university.
