Donnie Shell Scholarship Foundation

The Donnie Shell Scholarship Foundation was created by Donnie and Paulette Shell to fill in the financial gap for students attending South Carolina State University. Many of the students who attend SCSU come from rural areas of the State of South Carolina and they don’t have the financial means to afford their college tuition. DSSF assists academically gifted, deserving students from diverse economic circumstances. Many of these students do not have the financial means to attend college and are often denied the opportunity to develop their full potential. To help alleviate these crippling financial obstacles, the DSSF partners with South Carolina State University to support the Presidential Promise Scholarship Program.
