Palmetto Fellows: up to $6,700 during Freshman year, up to $7,500 during Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years; Students who major in an eligible math or science program are eligible for up to $10,000 during their Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years
LIFE: for students attending 2- or 4-year institutions; up to $4,700 with $300 book allowance; Students who major in an eligible math or science program are eligible for up to $7,500 during their Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years (4-year institutions only)
