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.
