The South Carolina Academy of Science, with the South Carolina Junior Academy of Science, is the only state-wide interdisciplinary science organization whose membership includes high school students, teachers, administrators, college students, professors, scientists, related professionals, parents of students, college presidents, business executives, owners of large and small businesses, as well as leaders of financial institutions and institutions of higher education. A major reason for this broad spectrum of support for the Academy is that, individually and collectively, all share a deep commitment to stimulate the creative abilities of the youth of our state and to provide learning opportunities that allow for the development of their talents.
