SC LIFE Scholarship

The SC LIFE Scholarship is a state-funded financial aid program available to eligible students attending Allen University. To qualify for this funding, applicants must be residents of South Carolina and maintain full-time enrollment at the university, which requires taking at least 12 credit hours per semester. The award provides up to $5,000 per year to help cover educational costs.

To receive these funds, students must complete a state scholarship affidavit each academic year. Unlike some other state aid programs, a FAFSA is not explicitly required to secure this specific scholarship, though completing the FAFSA is generally necessary for other federal and state aid. The scholarship is renewable for subsequent years of study. To maintain eligibility for renewal, recipients must earn an average of 30 credit hours per academic year and maintain a minimum 3.0 cumulative LIFE GPA. For current deadlines and application dates, students should consult the official Allen University financial aid page.
