Hamilton Scholars Fundraiser Earns $900
The $900 earned through the raffle tickets sales are helping to support Hamilton Scholars’ events, such as a Taste of Raleigh social that brought together Hamilton Scholars and international students in the College of Management last fall, and an end of semester cookout and baseball game outing this spring. Funds raised are also helping to support scholarships for Hamilton Scholars’ study abroad experiences.

We all greatly appreciate the NC State faculty, staff, and students, as well as the family of Hamilton Scholars, who supported the raffle by buying tickets.”
