Student-Athlete Testimonials

“The countless hours of practice, traveling, and ice baths are all worth it because I am living out a dream that I have had since I was 8 years old, to be a Division 1 pitcher at a major University. When I was 8 I did not realize that I would be here at State, and I thank my lucky stars that I have this opportunity to be at this outstanding school. If it wasn’t for college athletics scholarships and help from the Wolfpack Club, I would not be able to live this dream. I am incredibly thankful for all our Wolfpack donors; you truly are making dreams come true.”

“This opportunity to compete for the Wolfpack has helped me develop incredibly as a person. Over the last couple of years i have formed relationships that i truly believe I will have for the rest of my life, as well as obtained knowledge and networks that I believe will take me to the next level in the professional world one day. I would truly like to thank the Wolfpack Club and their gracious donors for their assistance to all Wolfpack student-athletes, and their contributions to the development of all of us as young men and women!”

“I am so incredibly thankful for my scholarship. Without it, I would not have the opportunity to pursue a post-graduate medical degree. As a student-athlete, I have experienced several devastating injuries that have permanently impacted my ability to perform my sport. I now see it as my opportunity to pay it forward by working to become an orthapedic surgeon. My scholarship has allowed me to take on of the most challenging parts of my life and use it to find my passion. Thank you so much!”

“Being a kid raised in Stone Mountain, GA, I would have never thought I would be here at NC State. I can only thank God,because attending this university has been a blessing to my life. Throughout my experiences here at State I feel I have become a better man, teammate, and friend. I am so grateful for the Wolfpack Club for providing me with a scholarship that allows me to chase my dreams while meeting some amazing people along the way. I came to this university with a lot of doubt and questions about myself. Thanks to Wolfpack Nation I’ll be leaving here a proud, confident man, thankful for every single second I spent at this amazing university.”

“It just means the world to finally see a dream come true and to [play soccer] with my best friends. I’m just really grateful for this opportunity and I couldn’t see it any other way. This is one of the best teams we’ve had in our four years here, and I think we’re capable of doing a lot of things that people are doubting about us. Thank you, Wolfpack Club donors!”
