Scott’s Branch would like to extend a special thank you to Mr. Davion Petty, Director of Admissions and Recruitment at South Carolina State University, for visiting our seniors on Friday, August 29th.
Mr. Petty shared valuable information about the college admissions process, financial aid resources, campus life, athletics, and student organizations. He encouraged our seniors not only to get a head start on applying to SCSU as an option, but also to take the first steps in shaping their college journey and future success to begin applying to colleges and scholarships of their choice.
We look forward to hosting many more college sessions and continuing to support our Eagles as they prepare for their promising futures.
