Program to introduce black students to USC
Black high school students from across the state are invited to
spend a day during Black History Month learning about minority student
opportunities at USC.
Carolina Tip-Off, a special day-long program, will be held from
9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Feb. 17 at USC. The registration fee is $5 for
students and $8 for adults. The fee includes lunch.
Carolina Tip-Off began in 1988 as a means of encouraging outstanding
black students to stay in South Carolina for their college education,
according to Ron Laffitte, assistant director of admissions at
USC.
"Carolina Tip-Off introduces minority students to USC programs
and activities designed to help them on campus. They learn about the
admissions process, financial aid and scholarships, student organizations
and other activities such as student organizations and other activities
such as student leadership opportunities," he said.
A separate session will take place for parents interested in student
life at USC. Parents will be able to discuss concerns and expectations
as their children become college students.
The deadline to register is Feb. 15. For information and registration,
call USC's Admissions Office at 1-800-922-9755.
