Student Support Services

OSP is nationally known as TRIO Student Support Services, one of eight federal TRIO grant programs. The program serves 160 students enrolled at USC Salkehatchie. To qualify, students must be income eligible, first generation, and/or have a documented disability (ex: vision/hearing impairments, etc.).

 

Opportunity Scholars Program (OSP) is a federally funded program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education that identifies promising students and prepares them for college-level work. OSP serves students who are first generation, income eligible, and/or have a documented disability. Studies show students are more likely to achieve academic success when provided support services.
