1896 Day

On Monday, March 3, 2025, in honor of SC State’s 129th Founders Day, Bulldogs everywhere are coming together for 1896 Day — a 24-hour giving challenge dedicated to shaping the future of our students.

For 1,896 minutes, alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends of SC State will unite to raise $129,000 to support student scholarships, academic programs, and campus life through the Annual Fund.
