The “Bulldogs on the Run Scholarship” is a non-renewal academic based scholarship for juniors and seniors enrolled in the Health Sciences Department at South Carolina State University. The scholarship was established in 2019 by a group of SCSU alumni to add a new and exciting event to the university’s homecoming activities to support students and promote enjoyment, healthiness, and unity. 

The purpose of this scholarship is to financially assist three (3) students with a $1,000.00 scholarship in their junior and/or senior year and whose career plans are to pursue an area of health sciences.
