Your Journey through the Grand Challenges Scholars Program at NC State

This roadmap outlines key milestones for students in the Grand Challenges Scholars Program (GCSP) at NC State. From applying to the program through graduation, students progress through five competency areas by submitting planning outlines and a final portfolio.

Along the way, you’ll work with a mentor, gain interdisciplinary experience, and build a portfolio that reflects your development as a high-impact engineer. Upon completion, you’ll earn an honor cord and a recognition letter from the National Academy of Engineering.
