Your support provides affordable access to education, supports high-impact research, encourages academic excellence and ensures a great student experience.
GIVEYour gift to the College of Arts and Sciences Carolina Fund supports students, alumni programming, faculty initiatives and other needs. Our online giving form makes it easy to give now.
Our students are part of the University of South Carolina community, but they're also part of the local community and they're eager to give back. They have valuable skills to offer, and we encourage them take advantage of opportunities to learn beyond the classroom.
The easiest gift to make and the one most often made is the gift of cash. Cash gifts are tax deductible and thus will reduce the "out-of-pocket" cost of the gift. You may make payments with cash, check, or money order, payable to the USC Educational Foundation, with College of Arts and Sciences in the "For" line. You may also make a credit card gift online by visiting our giving website.
Life insurance can help you make a generous gift at a relatively modest annual cost. The low premium expenses make it advantageous for younger contributors, while older policyholders garner tax-planning benefits if they contribute policies that are paid up (if they no longer need them). A specified bequest of money or property in your will is the simplest and most logical method to support a particular academic program. This document is revocable at any time by the donor. Proportional bequests are ideal for contributors not ready to specify the exact size or purpose for their gift. No matter the type, the planned gift is a perfect way to leave a lasting legacy through the College of Arts and Sciences.
The connections and opportunities have been endless for me here.
We're happy to help you make your gift or answer any questions you might have.
