Program Highlights

“NEF gives students a feel for college life, while also paving a path for them to make it their reality. As a former participant and mentor of the program, I can attest to the countless opportunities the program provides students each year. For me, it was a way to connect with other Native students, learn more about my culture and explore the resources at NC State.” – Jessica Jones, Current NC State Student | |

“NEF is a way for the university to build relationships with tribal communities. It allows us to show the youth the benefits of getting a higher education, so they can continue to help our communities grow.” – Justin Richardson, Assistant Director, Undergraduate Admissions |
