We think it is heart-warming that 1/3 of our students are on full need-based scholarship (for their participation fee), 1/3 are on half need-based scholarship, and 1/3 are able to pay full price. 5 students were able to procure their own instruments and the other 20 are using university-owned instruments for a nominal rental fee. We are very proud that we have been able to take care of all our students no matter their financial need.

The University of South Carolina String Project, now in its 44thyear, has won national recognition, including the Verner Award and a documentary on South Carolina ETV celebrating the 20th anniversary of the program. When the University of South Carolina String Project was founded in 1974 there was just one small string program in the Columbia metropolitan area. Now all five school districts in the Columbia area have large and active string programs, with orchestras in every high school and six regional youth orchestras.
