South Carolina Scholarships

South Carolina is a state of firsts. It was the first of the colonies to declare independence from Great Britain. Following that it was the first state to ratify the Articles of Confederation. Then later, it became the first state to succeed from the Union in the days before the Civil War. Some people are just born to lead.

South Carolina has 80 colleges and universities. These institutions are diverse in character, ranging from large research universities to small liberal arts colleges, trade schools and military academies. Clemson University, with its undergraduate enrollment of approximately 17,000 students, sits at the large end of the spectrum. At the other end, Wofford College in Spartanburg is a small liberal arts college founded before the Civil War and still using its original campus.
