Very Important Parent (VIP) Discount Program

As a valued member of the Wolfpack family, you are eligible for a variety of discounts on goods and services. The Office of Parents and Families Services is excited to partner with several businesses in the Raleigh area and beyond to provide these benefits to parents and families of enrolled NC State students.

About the VIP Program

Parents and families of incoming students will receive a Very Important Parent (VIP) discount card at New Student Orientation. Keep this in your wallet and present your card to access significant savings at participating VIP sites. The membership card is valid for four years or until the affiliated student is no longer enrolled at NC State.

VIP partners include area hotels, restaurants, entertainment and services that support and partner with NC State. Although VIP partners and discounts are subject to change annually, the card will remain active. Check the list below for the current year’s partners.

New for 2025, we are excited to announce that we have expanded partnerships and formalized a Parents and Families Services Sponsorship program. Click here to learn more.
