DeadlineAnnual cycle. The 2026 cycle is CLOSED - the administering foundation's own page now reads 'Check back in January, 2027!', so the next application window opens January 2027. DISCREPANCY TO CONFIRM: the College Board BigFuture listing gave the 2026 window as 1/1/2026-4/1/2026, while The Columbus Foundation's Universal Scholarship Application deadline for the same cycle was March 9, 2026 (extended from March 1). Confirm the exact 2027 date with the BLHS counselor before relying on either.
EligibilityVerbatim from the sponsor: 'Candidates must be graduating high school seniors of Batesburg-Leesville High School in Batesburg-Leesville, SC and must be accepted to and plan to attend Clemson University.' Applicants must demonstrate financial need; an essay is required. The fund honors Bud and Billie Eubanks, 'of modest means living in Leesville, SC', whose stated goal was 'that their three children would be able to go to college', and it is intended to support 'a student who would not otherwise have the means to attend college.' NOTE ON THE SPONSOR: the award is administered by The Columbus Foundation (Columbus, Ohio) but is restricted by the donors to Batesburg-Leesville High School seniors - it is not an Ohio-residency award. HOW TO APPLY: no public portal link is published for this specific fund; the sponsor directs students to their high school counselor - Kristin Shealy, School Counselor, Batesburg-Leesville High School, kshealy@lex3.org, 600 Summerland Avenue, Batesburg-Leesville, SC 29006, (803) 532-9251.
