For the 2024-2025 Academic Year, the FAFSA was delayed by the US Department of Education, becoming available to complete on December 30, 2023, rather than October 1. The FAFSA for the 2024-2025 Academic Year is currently available online at studentaid.gov. To be considered for a 2024-2025 South Carolina Tuition Grant, students must have submitted their application online at studentaid.gov on or before August 1, 2024.
The SC Tuition Grants Program is administered by the SC Higher Education Tuition Grants Commission through an annual appropriation by the State General Assembly. The program's purpose is to provide need-based grant assistance to eligible South Carolina students obtaining an initial undergraduate degree who are attending, on a full time basis, eligible independent non-profit in-state colleges.
In compliance with the Freedom of Information Act, all scheduled meetings of the Tuition Grants Commission are open to the public. Meetings are held virtually, unless otherwise noted. Meeting access information is included with all meeting materials.
