Who Can Apply:
- BIPOC students are becoming an increasingly large portion of student bodies across the country but their needs often go unacknowledged.

- This scholarship seeks to support students in South Carolina who demonstrate an interest in community and public services and hard work in academics.
- Any BIPOC high school senior or undergraduate student in South Carolina with a 3.0 GPA or higher and community service experience may apply for this scholarship.
