Presbyterian College (otherwise known as PC) was founded in 1880 by Dr. William Plumer Jacobs. Dr. Jacobs arrived in Clinton, South Carolina in 1864, following the devastation of the Civil War, and he dreamed of building an orphanage in the area. In October of 1875, Thornwell Orphanage opened its doors to 10 orphaned children.
The compelling purpose of Presbyterian College, as a church-related college, is to develop within the framework of Christian faith the mental, physical, moral, and spiritual capacities of each student in preparation for a lifetime of personal and vocational fulfillment and responsible contribution to our democratic society and the world community.
Our students are encouraged to get involved with student research and exploration. They often join faculty members as research assistants on their on-going research projects providing a one-to-one learning relationship. Other students conduct their own independent studies. All of these efforts move education beyond textbooks and lectures to encourage active learning, enriching the academic experience.
Career readiness is our focus. Our team assists students in exploring majors and careers and connects them to internships and employers to gain experience. We partner with local, regional and national employers and alumni to find meaningful internships and career opportunities. It’s never too early – or too late – to visit us and plan your future!
Below you will find scholarships related to Presbyterian College. Distinction can be made between scholarships provided by the University and those provided by independent providers.

The institution trained and shaped both my soft skills and hard skills. I built confidence in public speaking due to to the frequent academic presentations during lecture hours. The core values of the institution, helped me to improve upon my spiritual principles as a believer. Lecturers work hard and sacrifice enough for students to get the concept of what they have chosen to do within the academic span. The school instill discipline and integrity in the students. As the slogan of the institution goes, �Discipline in Leadership�, students are privileged to build their leadership skills by participating in leadership training seminars, unions and fellowships on campus to develop their skills. I will recommend every young and visionary to pursue their studies at Presbyterian University Ghana, and you will not only complete an academic degree but you will find your purpose and guide to accomplish it.
I enjoyed achieving knowledge and culture diversity
Presbyterian university is a word class university which has helped me and many find new paths in life and also nurture talents not forgetting the lecturers and professor's who are equally friendly and awesome
