SOS Scholarship Fund
The Smith Opportunity Scholarship (SOS) Fund, endowed by Andrea and Sean Smith, awards scholarships annually to participants of Carolina Youth Coalition who are planning to attend a 4-year university. The SOS scholarship award bridges the funding gap between the total cost of attendance and the recipients’ financial aid package after Federal Pell Grant, federal loans and other scholarships. In combination with Carolina Youth Coalition’s customized college counseling, the SOS award will provide a transformational opportunity for local youth to graduate from college unburdened with crippling debt.
