Overview
- At NC State’s Wilson College of Textiles commencement, delivered Friday, alumnus Anil Kochhar announced he and his wife would pay off final-year education loans from the 2025–26 school year.
- The plan is expected to benefit about 200 graduates, including roughly 176 bachelor’s recipients and 26 master’s degree earners.
- NC State says it is working with its Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid to verify eligible accounts and process the payments.
- Kochhar dedicated the gift to his late father, Prakash Chand Kochhar, an NC State textiles alumnus who inspired three new endowments announced two months earlier.
- Videos from Reynolds Coliseum showed cheers and a standing ovation, and one graduate said the relief helps her family and opens room to take career risks.
