- Who can apply
- Many funds serve Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester County seniors; some serve other areas or previous recipients, graduate/nontraditional students and nationwide college applicants. Don Rossi example accepts U.S. college juniors/seniors in sports management. School, merit, need and affiliation criteria are fund-specific; South Carolina residency is not universal.
- Good to know
- The same portal handles new, renewal, graduate and nontraditional routes. Some named awards require prior participation in a Foundation program. Confirm each fund’s restrictions rather than applying the FAQ’s previous-recipient guidance to every college award.
