SC Treasurer launches 2018 Future Scholar Holler Sweepstakes

South Carolina Treasurer Curtis Loftis announces the launch of the second annual Future Scholar Holler Sweepstakes. Young Clemson University and University of South Carolina football fans who love to holler for their teams will have a chance to win the ultimate prize pack when their parents enter the social media sweepstakes. Participants may enter for a chance to win the ultimate fan prize pack, including a privately-funded $529 Future Scholar grant. Now through Oct. 11, 2018, parents are invited to enter the sweepstakes by posting a photo of their child (age 12 and under) wearing their favorite Clemson or USC gear for a chance to win four tickets to a Clemson or USC football game, signed memorabilia from the head coaches and $529 towards a Future Scholar College Savings account. “We’re excited to partner once again with our friends at Clemson and USC to promote the importance of saving for college with a Future Scholar 529 plan,” said Treasurer Loftis. “Whether they holler for Clemson or Carolina, I hope parents and kids will get excited about college and start saving now for their future education.” Two winners will be selected on Oct. 12, from a random drawing of submitted photographs; one for Clemson and one for USC. They will receive a privately-funded $529 Future Scholar contribution presented by Treasurer Loftis on-field at the designated game. Entrants must be the parent or legal guardian of a current or potential Future Scholar beneficiary and a South Carolina resident.

Future Scholar, South Carolina’s 529 College Savings Plan, is administered through the State Treasurer’s Office. No state funds are used in marketing Future Scholar or awarding $529 grants.
