University of South Carolina- Upstate Scholars Program

The University of South Carolina Upstate Scholars Program for new and continuing students assists academically talented individuals in their pursuit of higher education. The prestigious awards are given to students who have demonstrated their potential through academic merit. USC Upstate and the upstate region will benefit from the leadership and academic excellence these scholars bring to campus. Scholarships will be awarded to eligible students; however, the number of awards available will be determined by the University. Dollar amounts will vary by scholarship. Early application for admission to USC Upstate is encouraged for students to be considered for new student scholarships. Most scholarships are awarded based on the application for admission and transcripts. However, if an application is required, the link is provided with the scholarship description. Contact the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships for more information. Many scholarships and stipends may be combined with other sources of financial assistance for which a student is eligible. However, a student may not receive more than one full-tuition University scholarship. Students who want to be considered for scholarships must be unconditionally accepted for admission prior to deadlines. USC Upstate students who are awarded scholarships or stipends are required to be in good academic standing. These students must also be free of any current discipline code violation and may not be on disciplinary probation. All scholarships require a 3.0 GPA for renewal.
