Application deadlines are approaching for two USC awards.

Feb. 28 is the deadline for incoming freshmen to apply for the Richard T. Greener Scholarship. The $8,000 award ($2,000 per year) is sponsored by the Black Alumni Council of the Carolina Alumni Association. The award is based on academic achievement, leadership ability, community service, and financial need.

Non-alumni who have provided excellent service to USC are also recognized.

Categories for the Homecoming award are:

• Distinguished Alumni Award, for graduates who have exemplified professional leadership, productive citizenship, and devotion to USC
• Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award, for graduates who have rendered service to humanity beyond that required by job or profession
• Outstanding Young Alumni Award, for graduates of the past 10 years who have excelled in their chosen fields
• Outstanding Black Alumni Award, for graduates who are distinguished in their chosen fields
• Honorary Life Memberships, for non-alumni who have provided extraordinary support and service to the University.

USC faculty, staff, alumni, friends, and members of the community are encouraged to submit nominations.
