FUNDRAISING:Β 

Run for the Future of Forensics πŸ”¬πŸƒ

Every case tells a storyβ€”and behind every piece of evidence is a future forensic scientist who needs the opportunity to learn, grow, and make a difference.

Donations to this cause will support the Future of Forensic Scholarship Fund through the Department of Public Safety’s Forensic Division. The fund provides support to students interested in pursuing careers in forensic science, helping make education and career opportunities more accessible to the next generation of forensic professionals.

Whether students dream of working in a drug laboratory, analyzing DNA, examining firearms or latent prints, investigating crime scenes, or simply using science to bring answers to complex cases, they have the potential to make a meaningful and lasting impact.

Your donation can help turn that potential into a career. Every contribution, big or small, helps invest in the next generation of forensic scientists.

Please consider donating and or running with the Greenville County Forensics. Together, we can help build a stronger future for forensic science. πŸ§¬πŸ”

Donate today and help someone take their first step toward a career in forensics!

πŸŽ“ Scholarships will be awarded in Spring 2027 to help students take the next step toward a future in forensics.
