- Palmetto Fellows with at least 30 hours, but do not meet the conditions above, will receive an additional amount of up to $800 for a maximum of $7,500.
- Entering freshmen, regardless of major, will receive a maximum of $6,700.
LIFE Scholarship – in addition to the base LIFE Scholarship requirements:
- Recipients with over 30 hours, and who, as a freshman, earned 14 hours worth of math and science, and who are in math and science related majors will receive an additional amount of up to $2,500 for a maximum of $7,500.
- Entering freshmen, regardless of major, and upperclassmen who do not meet the above conditions, will receive a maximum award of $5,000.
