Student Affairs & Academic Support

Carolina Cares

As a Gamecock family, we care about our students.

So when a lack of resources threatens their academic success, personal well-being, and even their ability to remain at USC, it's our obligation and our honor to assist.

By giving to the Carolina Cares Fund, you can help meet students' basic needs -- housing, food, clothing, transportation, and emergency essentials -- so that they can thrive in and beyond the classroom. Together, we can remove obstacles for our students and provide security and peace of mind on their paths from college to career success.

Make a gift to the Carolina Cares Fund and join us in our commitment to students. Or, support another area that's especially meaningful to you.

Click "Give Now" then select an option from the drop-down menu and give to the fund of your choice.
