NC Scholarship?

SC has the Life Scholarship, and GA has another with a similar arrangement: get As and Bs in high school, and get a sizeable scholarship to an in-state school. Does NC have something similar?

Georgia's is called the HOPE Scholarship and it is funded with lottery proceeds. It appears NC does have a similar program.

I went to college in NC, as an in-state resident. This was in 2000. It did not exist then, and as far as I know, it does not exist now.

The best place to check is the College Foundation of NC. (They are part of the State system.) They can lead you to all kinds of scholarship programs.
