Taking Pride in Your University

Annual gifts are an indication of the pride that our Carolina family has for this remarkable and historic University. Your support today goes to work immediately, ensuring that one more student achieves their goal of becoming a University of South Carolina graduate.

Whether providing scholarships and fellowships, emergency financial aid, recruiting stellar faculty, purchasing books for Thomas Cooper Library, beautifying campus, welcoming visiting speakers, or placing lab equipment in classrooms, annual gifts enable the University of South Carolina to provide resources not covered by tuition or state funding.

The Carolina Fund is the University's annual fund.  Make your gift online today through the "Give Today" button on this page.  It's a secure and easy way to show you believe in the promise of Carolina.

Why Annual giving matters

Not a student at the University of South Carolina graduates without having been touched in some way by annual gifts from alumni and friends. With more than 85 percent of current students relying on financial assistance to pursue their academic goals, annual gifts made to Carolina changes lives every single day.

Carolina Commitment

Annual Giving is a way of demonstrating your support for the University’s goal to become a national leader in academic success. Annual gifts are made by longtime supporters, businesses, foundations, and South Carolina's own alumni, students, faculty, and staff and we could not be where we are today without their loyal generosity.
