Palmetto Fellows

The Palmetto Fellows scholarship is a state-funded merit program available to eligible students attending Allen University. This scholarship is designed specifically for high-achieving students who are verified South Carolina residents.

To qualify for this state aid, applicants must establish their South Carolina residency. The university initially reviews residency status using the state information provided on the student's Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Additionally, students must complete the South Carolina Residency Evaluation Form sent by the Office of Financial Aid. This process requires submitting supporting documents, such as a driver's license, vehicle registration, and state income tax returns, to prove residency for at least 12 months before the start of the academic year.

Because state aid eligibility is tied to residency and financial information, completing the FAFSA using Allen University's school code is a necessary step. See the official page for current dates and deadlines.
