Investing in the promise of this great University and securing Carolina’s future success form the core goals of “Carolina’s Promise,” the University of South Carolina’s historic – and ambitious - Capital Campaign.

The public phase of the eight-year Carolina’s Promise campaign kicked off November 11, 2011 in Columbia, SC. The Campaign, which strives to raise an unprecedented $1 billion by 2015, will help:

• increase much-needed student scholarships, fellowships and financial aid,
• accelerate discoveries and technology transfer via faculty research,
• support an increase in the recruitment and retention of outstanding faculty,
• make Carolina more competitive with peer universities by improving academic facilities, technologies and living-learning environments for students,
• strengthen the health of individuals and communities in South Carolina and beyond, and
• secure Carolina’s future by building our endowment and making it competitive with other SEC schools
