About SC Need-Based Grant
The grant adds need-based support for undergraduates at eligible South Carolina public campuses.
Eligibility generally requires FAFSA, South Carolina residency, and calculated financial need, plus enrollment in an eligible program toward a first undergraduate degree under program rules. Other scholarships and gift aid are applied to the account first. Each institution confirms academic standards, enrollment, and documentation, so one school’s list does not replace the determination by the college you will attend.
File FAFSA early and ask campus financial aid whether additional forms or verification are needed. Confirm your college is on the eligible public-school list and that scholarships, Pell, and other sources are recorded before the balance is calculated. Students do not submit one central CHE application for the award; the college determines the amount.
