Why Support NCSSM?

For two decades, NCSSM has been at the forefront of innovative and creative learning for North Carolina's young people. Although the School is a state funded institution, current and future needs far exceed the State's support. Private support, is therefore, critical for the stability, continuity, and growth of NCSSM.

At the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, it means commitment to quality. Quite simply, the primary mission of NCSSM's Alumni/Development office is to bring the best students together with the best faculty in the best facilities.

Private support includes gifts and grants given to the School by people…alumni, parents, friends, trustees, and faculty/staff…and institutions…corporations, foundations, and organizations, who are committed to helping the NCSSM fulfill its mission in providing the highest possible learning and living experience for young people.

In 1999 Americans gave in excess of $150 billion dollars to charities; educational institutions received over $25 billion of those dollars. Individuals, families, foundations, and corporations support institutions for one primary purpose: belief in and trust in the institution. The North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics is a strong School, committed to academic excellence. It is a School where learning is combined with living to create an atmosphere of growth and achievement for its students.

Your support of NCSSM is critical in meeting the high costs of educating young people. We hope you believe in our mission.
