Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

The Commission on Higher Education proposes to amend and replace in its entirety R.62-450 of the South Carolina Need-based Grants Program. The proposed amendments will clarify the policies and procedures for administering the Need-based Grants Program at the state's public colleges and universities. The proposed amendments include language that will allow students who are pursuing a program of study that is structured so as not to require a baccalaureate degree and leads to a graduate degree to receive the grant for up to eight full-time equivalent semesters. Also included is language that would require institutions to give first priority and award the maximum allowable Need-based Grant ($2,500 if full-time or $1,250 if part-time) to students who are in the custody of the South Carolina Department of Social Services (DSS) due to the approval of Proviso 58.14 during the 2001 legislative session.
