The Duke Power contribution will be added to the university’s Promise Fund, which provides university-funded scholarship programs, and academic and support programs each year. The Promise Fund is used for programs such as new facilities, internships and state-of-the-art classroom equipment for the Central campus, as well as the university’s sites in Greenville, Columbia, North Augusta and Charleston
