I had heard the same thing (from a guidance counselor) that there is no money aside from the big scholarships. We were pleasantly surprised to get a letter from the College of Engineering offering him $3k for two years. We’re in state though. He said he applied via a link on the website. I also made sure we had FAFSA done by late Feb, but we don’t qualify for need based aid.

This is from one of their earlier emails:
Many students are interested in being considered for academic scholarships. While we would like to recognize all of our top achievers with scholarship funding, unfortunately the University offers few purely merit-based scholarships to entering freshmen. In 2011, fewer than 100 University-wide scholarships were awarded to students in the top 5% of their graduating classes with weighted GPA’s exceeding 4.75 and SAT scores above1500. There is no separate application for these scholarships. Students are considered based on the application for admission.

Beyond these few University-wide awards, there are also a number of college-based scholarships for students in particular academic programs. Some of these may require a separate application. For a complete listing, please see the Scholarships section of our website: [North Carolina State University :: Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid](Financial Aid | Student Services Center | NC State University). There are also a number of scholarships for which both merit and need considered. You will automatically be reviewed for these if you submit the FAFSA by March 1 and demonstrate financial need.
