At the University of South Carolina, caring for our students is at the heart of who we are. They are part of the Gamecock family—and families show up when it matters most.
When unexpected financial hardships threaten a student’s ability to stay enrolled, focus in class, or meet basic needs, your generosity can be the difference. A gift to the Carolina Cares Fund provides critical support for housing, food, clothing, transportation and emergency essentials—helping students feel secure, supported and able to succeed.
Because of donors like you, students can stay on track academically, protect their well-being and continue their journey from college to career with confidence. Together, we can remove barriers, restore hope and ensure every Gamecock has the opportunity to thrive—inside and outside the classroom.
Make a gift to the Carolina Cares Fund and stand with our students when they need it most. Or, if another area is close to your heart, you may choose to support the cause that matters most to you.
