Student Scholarships
SCAEOP presents annual scholarships of $1500 to deserving high school students. We have helped with the educational process of many South Carolina college bound students. The rising cost of tuition at many of our colleges places a hardship on many families. We strive each year to help ease the economic burden for a deserving student.

Kellan Young
My name is Kellan Young and I'm a senior at Blythewood High School. I live in Blythewood with my Mom, Dad, and younger sister. I also have an older brother, who is a sophomore at the Citadel. Family is very important to me and I'm so very grateful for the supportive and loving family that I have been blessed with. I have enjoyed my educational years in Richland two- having attended Round Top Elementary, Blythewood Middle and Blythewood High School. I played high school golf 5 years, lettered twice and was team captain two years. I have also been very involved in student government and was the SCASC district 4 vice chair in 2016-2017. I have been employed at Clothing World for 2 years and babysit regularly for multiple families. My senior year is flying by and I'm looking forward to continuing my academic career- I plan to study public health or exercise science and ultimately obtain a degree in physical therapy. I have applied to both College of Charleston and Clemson.
