Prospective students now have an opportunity to receive $1,000 after touring ߣѿƬ Southern University, the Lowcountry’s only Christian higher education institution. The $1,000 Tour Treasure Grant is provided to a student if they attend an official visit such as a personal tour, A Day in the Life, or First Look event with the Office of Admissions before August 2025. To be eligible, a student must enroll as a first-time freshman or transfer student in the fall 2025 term, submit the 2024-2025 FAFSA, and live anywhere in the world outside of Berkeley, ߣѿƬ, or Dorchester counties.  

“A campus visit is the best way to imagine yourself at that college and briefly experience all it offers,” Dr. Tony Turner, vice president for enrollment management, said. “At ߣѿƬ Southern, the campus visit will expose students to a Christian foundation, excellent academics, and our family culture. We believe in campus visits so much that we have provided a grant to encourage students to see what CSU is about for themselves. When a student visits, we hope they will quickly realize CSU is a special place where students can thrive and become the person God intends them to be, with a strong support system to help them along their path to graduation and beyond.” 

The Tour Treasure Grant, which originally kicked off in 2022, is a one-time, nonrenewable grant available only within the first year of enrollment at ߣѿƬ Southern. 

Prospective students interested in visiting campus in spring 2025 can learn more and register . Other campus tour opportunities can be found at charlestonsouthern.edu/campus-visit.  

With a 300-acre campus nestled in the center of the ߣѿƬ metro area, CSU enrolls approximately 3,900 students from 43 states and 40 countries. The university offers more than 60 undergraduate degree programs, 20 graduate programs, and two doctoral programs. CSU also competes at the NCAA Division I level with 16 teams in the Big South Conference.
