SC State ScholarshipGrant_Flyer2024.pdfThe Meeting Street Scholarship is awarded to high-achieving, under-resourced South Carolina students who enroll in our state’s top colleges.
The Scholarship originated in 2021 through visionary private philanthropy offering a four-year, up to $40,000 Scholarship to public school graduates in 14 counties, which have since been designated as Legacy counties.
In the 2026-27 South Carolina budget, the General Assembly generously appropriated a recurring $18.7 million to pilot an up to $10,000 scholarship to all qualifying graduates in the state’s remaining 32 counties, which are designated as Expansion counties.
The Scholarship is humbled by this support and hopes to continue to partner with the state to continue serving our first class of Expansion county recipients and also offer the same opportunity to future classes.

2026-27 Scholarship Spreadsheet
The purpose of the Scholarship Spreadsheet is to organize a variety of different categories of scholarships into a central location for students and parents to access. In the spreadsheet, there are tabs for scholarships that meet 100% need, school specific scholarships, scholarships for undocumented students, and scholarship organized by the month they are due. The spreadsheet is not meant to be a comprehensive list of all available scholarships, but it does provide some ideas to get started.
