• Scholarship applicants must have applied for admission to the University. Awards are made only to accepted students.
• South Carolina residents must present a score of at least 1180 on the combined SAT Math and SAT Critical Reading sections (USC does not factor SAT Writing scores into scholarship selection). Applicants must also have a minimum weighted GPA of 3.0 from your high-school transcript (as calculated by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions).
• Non-residents must present a score of at least 1200 on the combined SAT Math and SAT Critical Reading sections (USC does not factor SAT Writing scores into scholarship selection). Applicants must also have a minimum weighted GPA of 3.5 from your high-school transcript (as calculated by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions).
  Generally, an ACT score of at least 26 (in state) or 27 (out-of-state) may be substituted for the SAT score.
• Awards are made on a first come, first served basis. 
• Awardees may attend any USC campus.
• Scholarship renewal is automatic provided the student maintains a 3.0 GPA and full-time student status, and the sponsor remains a current member in My Carolina Alumni Association.
