Overview

Undergraduate Student Scholarship

South Carolina Humanities seeks to encourage students to explore humanities fields as they pursue their academic careers. The humanities invite us to enrich our minds.

Humanities Disciplines

The humanities include history, philosophy and ethics, literature, linguistics, languages, jurisprudence, cultural anthropology, archaeology, comparative religions, art history and/or criticism, folklore, or interdisciplinary scholarship in these areas.

Funding

Scholarships are paid in a lump sum as a stipend to the student. A scholarship recipient may utilize the funds toward tuition; the purchase of books, research materials, specialty software, or supplies; travel for research or presentations; or other purposes in the pursuit of a humanities major, as determined by consultation with the faculty mentor/advisor.

Scholarships are available and awarded on a competitive basis to undergraduate college or university students.
