The Michael Daniel Smith and Alexander Tyler Smith Scholarship is funded by an endowment created by Mr. Robert L. Thomas and awarded to the University of South Carolina in honor of the boys’ memory. The Michael Daniel Smith and Alexander Tyler Smith Scholarship is awarded annually to one undergraduate or graduate student who shows outstanding promise as a helping professional for children and families. The award totals $3,000 and must be applied directly to the selected student’s tuition. The recipient of the Michael Daniel Smith and Alexander Tyler Smith Scholarship is chosen by a Selection Committee comprised of no less than three members from the Institute for Families in Society. Preference must be given to students with demonstrated financial need. The recipient will be expected to be involved with a selected service project for a minimum of 50 hours per semester, which equates to approximately 3-4 hours per week. The experience is meant to be one of growing and learning for the award recipient. The specific involvement of the award recipient will be developed by the recipient and a mentor from the selected project.
