The Dale Earnhardt Legacy Program
Your Guaranteed Pathway to NC State
Supported by the Dale Earnhardt Foundation,, the Dale Earnhardt Legacy Program offers a unique opportunity for students interested in environmental majors who were not initially admitted as first-year students at NC State.
This program provides a seamless transfer pathway. Students spend one academic year at another institution — preferably a North Carolina community college — while receiving mentoring, academic advising and support from the College of Natural Resources’ Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources.
To participate, students must be admitted to the Dale Earnhardt Legacy Program before enrolling at another institution.
