About Young Scientists of Sc

Young Scientists of Sc concentrates on classroom robotics programs for South Carolina K–12 students, with grants repeatedly directed to the same school districts and schools. The largest recent awards went to Dorchester School District 2 in Summerville and Allendale School District in Fairfax, each for classroom robotics programming. That repeated pattern points to sustained, school-based support rather than isolated project funding. The foundation’s grantmaking is tightly tied to implementation inside classrooms: classroom robotics kits, curriculum, and coaching support appear across its recent awards. Colleton County School District in Walterboro, Bamberg School District in Denmark, and SC Charter School District in Columbia also appear among the recurring recipients. The mix of rural districts and charter or private schools shows a consistent effort to help schools add hands-on STEM instruction where local resources may be limited. Across the recent grants list, the foundation’s work is narrowly focused but highly consistent. Grants are aimed at direct service delivery in schools, with the same program purpose attached to multiple awards. For nonprofit researchers, this is a funder defined less by broad thematic diversity and more by repeated operational support for robotics education in South Carolina classrooms.

What Young Scientists of Sc Funds

Young Scientists of Sc supports K–12 classroom robotics as its central program area. In that work, it gave $46,781 to Dorchester School District 2 in Summerville for classroom robotics programs, and $36,511 to Allendale School District in Fairfax for the same purpose. Those awards show a preference for in-school implementation rather than stand-alone enrichment. The foundation also backs charter and private school settings. It awarded $27,384 to SC Charter School District in Columbia and $12,551 to Pinewood Prep Academy in Summerville, both for classroom robotics programs. A separate grant of $6,846 to Cathedral Private School in Charleston shows the same program model extending to a private-school environment. Across these grants, the recurring purpose text centers on classroom robotics programs, with the grant recipients spanning districts and schools serving elementary and secondary students. The pattern suggests emphasis on robotics curriculum delivery, hands-on learning, and classroom integration.
