At the University of South Carolina, we salute those who have served this great nation, honoring the sacrifice and selflessness that military service requires. We are dedicated to assisting our veteran and military community on campus and beyond every single day. They earned our support!
The Salute to Service Scholarship is the first student-veteran scholarship at South Carolina that is not preferential to a specific military branch. It was established to support student veterans who may have already exhausted their military benefits in higher education through their academic and professional pursuits.
Some of the ways we assist student veterans include:
- Partnering with Fortune 500 companies for career readiness and job placement
- Lowering tuition for active-duty service members
- Providing free legal services to veterans across South Carolina
In addition to the Salute to Service scholarship, this year we will also raise funds for programmatic initiatives to help us better serve the overall veteran and military community. In 2022 alone, we have welcomed senior leadership from the Army and Pentagon to speak and engage with students; local veterans and community leaders to speak during the Student Veteran Association’s inaugural Leadership Luncheon; and officially hosted 50strong, corporate partners, and local military leadership at Williams-Brice Stadium, for two nationally and internationally viewed discussions on employment networking and workforce development. By supporting programmatic initiatives, your contribution will further enhance our ability to engage throughout the state and country, building relationships and opportunities in military, industry, and government to spur economic growth and workforce development among the veteran and military community.
We can't do any of this vital work without donors like you. Please make your Give 4 Garnet gift to support those who serve – no gift is too small to touch the life of a military-affiliated student.
