South Carolina State University News February 14, 2023 Members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.'s South Atlantic Region (South Carolina chapters) have given South Carolina State University $6,000 in general book scholarship funding. The one-time gift will support $300 book scholarships for 20 deserving first-time freshmen in the 2023-2024 academic year. "On behalf of the South Carolina State family, I thank the women of Delta Theta Sigma for supporting our students," SC State President Alexander Conyers said. "Their efforts will go a long way in helping incoming freshmen overcome financial barriers to success.
