STILL Investing in Our Community
This extension is possible thanks to federal higher education aid funds and the continued support from our strategic partnerships with OneSpartanburg, Inc. and the Spartanburg Academic Movement. Education is the key to success, and the gateway to economic prosperity. In order to grow, we must continue our partnerships, working together to educate our citizens and provide businesses an educated and skilled workforce. We have joined forces to make attending college at SCC more affordable than ever.
