The Byrnes Foundation is offering $3,250 scholarships that are also renewable annually for as many as four years if the student is making satisfactory progress towards a degree. In addition to the cash awards, recipients receive a summer luncheon, fall dinners, and a weekend retreat at Garden City Beach, SC, in the spring. There are usually about 25 Byrnes Scholars attending the college of their choice during a given year.
Eligibility requirements are:
- The applicant must have lost one or both parents by death.
- Be a South Carolina resident and a United States citizen.
- Be a current Senior in High School.
- Plan to pursue a bachelor’s degree at an accredited four-year college or university as a freshman.
- Have a financial need and a satisfactory scholastic record.
- It is important that excellence in character, ability, and enterprise be shown to indicate that the individual will make worthwhile contributions to society.
Completed applications must be submitted by snail-mail to the Byrnes Foundation Office by February 6th. The new scholars are announced in May, and the scholarships become effective for the school term beginning the following fall.
