Grant Overview
South Carolina Girls Golf Support Fund
South Carolina's coastal plain and upstate foothills create distinct access patterns where 22 counties contain no 18-hole public courses and students rely on municipal par-3 facilities or travel to neighboring states. The support fund targets high-school girls whose family incomes fall below 200 percent of the federal poverty guideline, with additional weighting for residents of the eight counties along the Savannah River where manufacturing employment dominates.
Target Outcomes with State Context
The fund aims to increase the share of female golf participants completing associate or bachelor's degrees within six years by 15 percentage points above current South Carolina averages for similar income cohorts. State data show that girls from these counties graduate high school at 78 percent but enter four-year colleges at only 31 percent, largely due to net price after state aid.
Why These Outcomes Matter in South Carolina
South Carolina maintains 46 technical college campuses yet reports that only 12 percent of students in rural service areas use them as transfer pathways. Golf-related scholarships address this gap by reducing the need for part-time employment that conflicts with practice schedules at the limited number of courses near Interstate 95 and Interstate 26 corridors.
Implementation Approach
Awards require verification of golf involvement through South Carolina Golf Association junior programs or local course timecards. Funds transfer to eligible institutions including the state's 16 technical colleges and 13 public universities. South Carolina differs from Georgia and North Carolina because its smaller population base necessitates single-application processing through the Commission on Higher Education rather than multi-campus consortia.
