The university annually awards scholarships to National Merit Finalists and National Hispanic Recognition Program Scholars. The competition for these awards begins when you take the PSAT/NMSQT in your junior year of high school. To be eligible, National Merit Finalists must list the University of South Carolina as their first choice through the National Merit Corporation. The National Hispanic Recognition Program will send us the names of the scholars selected for that program. The Provost Scholars Award is the only general university award that can be combined with another admissions-issued scholarship. Recipients of this award qualify for the in-state tuition rate if this is their sole award. If they receive two university-issued awards, they will receive only one instance of tuition reduction.
Please note that for most students, the total award amount includes a $500 National Merit Scholarship.
National Hispanic Scholars are guaranteed an award of $3,500 for 4 years for a total of $14,000
National Hispanic scholars will also compete for other freshman scholarship opportunities which are awarded in early January of the student’s senior year. These scholarships are able to be added to the guaranteed scholarships listed above.
The College Board Recognition Award is considered an “eligible scholarship” for the purpose of determining the eligibility of non-residents (students who are not residents of Texas) for the non-resident tuition waiver. Beginning Fall 2017, students must have a minimum of $4,000 of eligible scholarships awarded by Texas A&M each academic year to qualify for the waiver.
