Areas to Support
South Carolina Center for Community Literacy Fund
When the college launched Children, Libraries and Literacy in 2005, it crafted a statewide initiative to reduce illiteracy in South Carolina by taking a fresh and tactically new approach. Our ultimate goal is to reduce the cycle of illiteracy among South Carolina’s children and adults, particularly in underserved or disadvantaged communities.
Dean's Excellence Fund
Provides support for Dean Reichert’s immediate needs of the college such as scholarships for students, financial assistance for student competition teams, technology and programs for students and faculty, bringing speakers to campus and more.
CIC Alumni Society Scholarship Fund
Alumni donors can provide tuition assistance for students attending one of our two schools: Journalism and Mass Communications and Information Science. This scholarship fund was created by our alumni, for children of our alumni.
Study Abroad Fund
Study abroad offers students amazing opportunities to study at a foreign university during a semester, year or summer abroad. This program promotes professional connections outside of South Carolina, hones skills in unfamiliar environments and explores international perspectives.
Student Experience Fund
This fund will enable more students to participate in high-impact out-of-the-classroom experiences such as: traveling to and attending cutting-edge conferences, seminars and symposiums for professional development opportunities, study-away and study-abroad experiences, and memberships and activities within national professional organizations.
Giving Society
An annual donation of $1,000 or more to the college qualifies donors for membership into the Dean’s Circle Society. This group is comprised of alumni, community leaders and industry advocates who recognize the value and significance of the college. In return, members are invited to unique events throughout the year.
