SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

The Commission on Higher Education proposes to amend and replace in its entirety R.62-300 of the Palmetto Fellows Scholarship Program. The proposed amendments will clarify the policies and procedures for administering the Palmetto Fellows Scholarship Program. Beginning with the 2002-03 academic year, the proposed amendments will increase the Palmetto Fellows Scholarship from a maximum annual award amount of up to $5000 to $6700 per academic year. The proposed regulation also includes language that will allow students who are pursuing a program of study that is structured so as not to require a baccalaureate degree to receive the scholarship for up to eight terms (or its equivalent).
