SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

The South Carolina Commission on Higher Education proposes the following revisions to Chapter 62 regulation, R.62-450 through 62-505, South Carolina Need-based Grants Program. The proposed regulation increases the maximum funding amount that full-time students may receive in a South Carolina Need-based Grant by $1,000 and by $500 for part-time students. In addition, the proposed regulation provides the institutions the ability to award and disburse SC Need-based Grant for up to three terms a year, rather than two, within the maximum annual funding amount to eligible students. The regulation also allows students to receive up to a maximum award amount over the course of their studies, rather than limiting award eligibility to a number of semesters.

A Notice of Drafting was published in the State Register on April 23, 2021.
