TO APPROVE REGULATIONS OF THE COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION, RELATING TO NEED-BASED GRANTS PROGRAM, DESIGNATED AS REGULATION DOCUMENT NUMBER 2755, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 1, CHAPTER 23, TITLE 1 OF THE 1976 CODE.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The regulations of the Commission on Higher Education, relating to Need-Based Grants Program, designated as Regulation Document Number 2755, and submitted to the General Assembly pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 23, Title 1 of the 1976 Code, are approved.
SECTION 2. This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
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.
