Our students are consistently selected as national fellowship finalists and scholars, bringing considerable esteem and distinction to the university. Top Scholars are also exceeding our expectations as campus and community leaders. Your support helps students compete for prestigious national fellowships and provides enrichment activities for Top Scholars.
Since our office was established in 1994, university students have won over 1,400 national awards totaling more than $45 million. National fellowship winners and Top Scholars have gone on to become national leaders, groundbreaking researchers and innovative problem-solvers.
Our goal is to prevent financial limits from discouraging USC students in their pursuit of these life-changing opportunities. Your support can have a monumental impact on the academic success of some of our brightest students at the University of South Carolina. Faculty and staff may designate their annual Family Fund gift to support either fund noted below.
To make your gift today, contact Marcus Fogle, Director of Development, or designate a gift directly to a scholar fund.
A donation to the National Fellowship Finalists and Winners Support Fund assists USC's national fellowship finalists and scholars with expenses such as clothing and activities to prepare for national interviews; funding to cover gaps in fellowship provisions (e.g. meal or travel expenses); and occasionally help with initial startup costs or supplements to living expenses during their fellowship period.
The Carolina and McNair Scholars Support Fund provides support to all Top Scholars through priorities as designated by Scholar Programs. Your support may provide special programs, speakers and activities for the Top Scholar community to enhance their undergraduate experience at Carolina.
If you would like to give specifically to support the Stamps Scholars, please visit the Honors College giving page and look for the SCHC Carolina Fund.
