Champion Scholarship

Greenville University recognizes that there are students deserving of recognition based on what they have been able to overcome in their lives. Robert “Ish” Smith was a former coach and president of Greenville University. He challenged students to be their best and knew they had it in them, sometimes before they knew it themselves. We want to recognize champions, just like “Ish” did.
