scholarships are made possible through the Charley Lovingood Scholarship

student and avid fan of computers and technology.  The amount of each
scholarship awarded is $200.00 for a weeklong residential camp session.
Campers are responsible the balance of $60. Camp sessions are divided by
age, 7-12 year old Nature Camp and 13-17 year old Earth Leadership
Institute.
Scholarships are awarded on a first come first serve basis, to those who
successfully complete the application process.  As there are only a few
scholarships available for each session, this is a very competitive
scholarship.  Last year applications were received and accepted from
outside the state of South Carolina.

given to those students with a specific interest in computers and
technology.
