2026 STEP Dates
Participants will choose one of the four weeks to attend STEP.
- Week 1: June 7-12
- Week 2: June 14-19
- Week 3: June 21-26
- Week 4: July 5-10
Location
STEP participants will live in one of the residence halls on main campus. Roommates are randomly assigned, unless we receive a specific roommate request, in which case we will do our best to accommodate the request.
Most day activities will take place at the Textiles Complex on Centennial Campus (1020 Main Campus Drive, Raleigh) except for field trips.
Cost and Financial Aid
The STEP 2026 program cost is $450. This payment covers lodging, transportation, materials, lunches and dinners during the program.
Please note: NC State is a cashless university, so participants will need to bring a debit or credit card if they are interested in getting ice cream, snacks, coffee or items from the NC State bookstore.
Partial and full scholarships are available for those with demonstrated financial need. A financial aid application is included within the STEP application.
