How may the Gamecock Guarantee financial award be used?
The purpose of the annual $2,500 program award is to help offset the recipients’ educational costs while attending the University of South Carolina. Many Gamecock Guarantee recipients will find that their other awards cover or nearly cover their tuition and technology fees. If so, they can use the remaining $2,500 program award funds to pay for other college-related expenses such as individual course fees, equipment or lab fees, books and supplies, room, board, or other miscellaneous expenses. Participants should diligently pursue and maintain their eligibility for other scholarships and grants. By doing so, the Gamecock Guarantee award can help to reduce or eliminate participants’ needs for incurring educational debt.
