SC State plans $100 million Capital Campaign

South Carolina State University is planning its first capital fundraising campaign.  The full University Trustees will consider the idea on September 29, after a trustee committee approved the plan last Thursday.

Trustee Matthew Richardson says the campaign probably will start next year.

South Carolina State vice president Anthony Holloman says state support for the school has dropped dramatically.

Money raised from the campaign would go for need-based scholarships, building an endowment, as well as faculty development and perhaps a new student fitness and wellness center.
