Outreach and Initiatives
The Office of Access Compliance and Education supports inclusive efforts in all aspects and functions of the University. From procurement processes to awards and beyond, see how you can be a part of our inclusive practices through outreach initiatives.
Procurement Inclusion
Inclusive procurement practices involve University employees who will go through the process of attaining goods or services. Through our Diversity Procurement Initiative, we provide processes and resources to help you engage in business with diverse companies, both public and private, while supporting South Carolina’s economy.

SREB - State Doctoral Scholars Program
Doctoral students are encouraged to apply directly to the Southern Regional Education Board for these scholarships. The Doctoral Scholars Program is part of a nationwide initiative, the Compact for Faculty Diversity, to produce more Ph.D.s and to encourage them to seek faculty positions. Developed with support from The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Ford Foundation, the program offers financial support and other services to doctoral scholars nationwide. As a highlight each year, SREB hosts the Institute on Teaching and Mentoring, a supportive gathering of many doctoral scholars across the country.
The SREB-State Doctoral Scholars Program offers two awards to students pursuing Ph.D.s and planning to become college and university professors. If you are eligible, we invite you to apply for one of these awards.
