Palmetto Fellows Scholarship Program

The Palmetto Fellows Scholarship Program is a merit-based scholarship program administered by the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education. Each Palmetto Fellow may receive a scholarship of up to $6,700 annually.  Half of the scholarship is awarded in the fall term and half in the spring term, assuming continued eligibility.  The scholarship must be applied directly towards the cost of attendance, less any other gift aid received. Palmetto Fellows may be supported for a maximum of eight full‑time terms of study toward the first baccalaureate degree at a participating institution in South Carolina.
