College of Information and Communications Carolina Fund

When you give to the CIC Carolina Fund, you're supporting the areas of greatest need for our college's two schools—Journalism and Mass Communications, and Information Science.

Dean's Excellence Fund

Your gifts to this fund allow Dean Reichert to provide direct support to the most immediate needs of the college, such as scholarships for students, financial assistance for student competition teams, technology and programs for students and faculty, and on-campus guest speakers.

Cocky's Reading Express Fund

Cocky's Reading Express™ brings the energy and spirit of the University of South Carolina directly to Title I elementary schools across the state, where our students and beloved mascot Cocky deliver high-energy storytimes that ignite a passion for reading. With every visit, children receive free books to take home and treasure, ensuring that access to literacy never depends on a family's zip code or income. Your generous support helps us reach more schools, gift more books, and change more lives

CIC Alumni Society Scholarship

Alumni donors can provide tuition assistance for students attending one of our two schools: Journalism and Mass Communications, or Information Science. This scholarship fund was created by our alumni, for children of our alumni.

Study Abroad Fund

Study abroad offers students an amazing opportunity 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 enables more students to enhance their learning through high-impact, out-of-the-classroom experiences, such as cutting-edge conferences, seminars and symposiums for career-development opportunities, study-away and study-abroad experiences, and memberships and activities in national professional organizations.
