The Robert N. Styres Scholarship is awarded annually to a Wake County Public High School graduate to attend a college, university or community college of the student's choice, and is renewable for 4 years.

​

Since 2000 the Scholarship has awarded over $116,000 to 17 students. Sixteen recipients have or are on track to complete 4 years of college.

​

While academic achievement is important, the Scholarship is not necessarily intended for the young man or woman with the highest grade point average, rather, for a student with good to average grades who is a hard worker and who may have overcome some adversity along the way.
