Kalypso Wolfpack Innovators Scholarship

History of Scholarship

In 2011, a group of consultants at the global innovation consulting firm, Kalypso, decided to turn another commonality - degrees from North Carolina State University - into an opportunity for future Wolfpack Alumni. In order to provide financial aid opportunities for fellow members of the Pack and funnel quality engineers into the consulting world, this group established the Wolfpack Innovators Scholarship.

In the Fall of 2012, the Stelos Alliance, in partnership with Kalypso began awarding up to four scholarships for excellence in innovation and academics to NCSU undergraduate engineering students.

Applications due May 17, 2013
