The South Carolina Commission on Higher Education will host three Summer Residency and State Scholarship Workshops in July to support institutional residency, financial aid and admissions officers in the administration of state scholarships.
The workshops will provide training, introduce new and possible future changes to the statute and regulations, and will also serve as a forum for open dialogue about the various state financial aid and residency programs. Attendees also will have a unique opportunity to weigh in on impactful legislation regarding state scholarships which was passed during the most recent legislative session and will be enacted during the Fall 2024 term.
The dates and times for the workshops are:

Please note, for those interested in continuing the residency discussion after the CHE portion concludes, there will be an opportunity to do so in a nearby space. This additional meeting was made at the request of several residency officers and is not a CHE led event. The additional meeting will allow participants an opportunity to discuss scenarios and best practices amongst your peers.
All events will conclude no later than 1 PM. For additional information on the workshops, contact Tanya Weigold, CHE Scholarships and Grants Program Coordinator, at tweigold@che.sc.gov or (803) 856-0672.
