Named for the late Roy H.

Part of Natalie’s service has been volunteering for Cape Lookout National Seashore since 2014.“Natalie is a wonderful young woman with endless potential,” states Dr. Sue Stuska, Wildlife Biologist for Cape Lookout National Seashore. “She has contributed hundreds of hours to both the park and the Foundation for Shackleford Horses, our management partners. We appreciate her dedication, her talents, and her enthusiasm for taking on so many different tasks related to the wild horses on Shackleford Banks.” The Park Scholarship was awarded this year to 39 of more than 2,105 applicants from across North Carolina and the United States. It covers four years of tuition, fees, room and board at NC State plus a generous stipend.
