## About this scholarship

The Palmetto Fellows Scholarship is a state-funded financial aid program designed for high-achieving undergraduate students attending eligible institutions in South Carolina, including Anderson University. This award helps students cover their educational expenses, provided they meet specific academic standards. To keep the funding active, recipients must maintain a 3.0 GPA and earn at least 30 credits during each academic year. It is important to note that dual enrollment, transfer, AP, CLEP, and IB credits do not count toward this annual 30-credit requirement. 

While the scholarship is merit-based, students are generally expected to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) annually to coordinate their state aid with federal and institutional resources. Anderson University requires U.S. citizens to submit the FAFSA to determine overall financial assistance. For current dates and application deadlines, students should consult the official page.
