They can apply for the LIFE Scholarship. The LIFE Scholarship makes affording <a href=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/guides\/difference-between-college-and-university\/\">college<\/a> in South Carolina possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What Is the LIFE Scholarship?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Life Scholarships are renewable college scholarships for residents of South Carolina. They are <a href=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/apply-for-scholarships\/how-to-win-a-national-merit-scholarship\/\">merit-based<\/a> scholarships. Public and private institutions in South Carolina award the scholarships.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students may use the LIFE Scholarship for up to eight semesters from their initial college enrollment date. The money they receive goes towards their college tuition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready for the best part? The LIFE Scholarship doesn\u2019t require students to fill out an application at all. Freshman and transfer students accepted to eligible schools in South Carolina, receive the scholarship if they qualify.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How Much Money Do You Get From the LIFE Scholarship?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students receive $5,000 per year from the LIFE Scholarship. Sophomore, <a href=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/apply-for-scholarships\/13-scholarships-for-high-school-juniors-and-sooner\/\">junior<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/guides\/scholarships-for-high-school-seniors\/\">senior<\/a> students in science and math-related fields may receive $7,500 per year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How Do You Qualify for the LIFE Scholarship?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To qualify for the LIFE Scholarship, students must be:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">U.S Citizens<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">South Carolina residents<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graduates of a South Carolina high school<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full-time undergraduate students pursuing their Bachelor\u2019s degree<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entering freshman students must meet two of the following three requirements:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimum 3.0 high school <a href=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/guides\/how-to-go-to-college-without-a-ged-or-high-school-diploma\/\">GPA<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimum 1100 on SAT or 24 on the ACT<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graduated in top 30% of high school class<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students must have no felonies. They also must have no alcohol or drug misdemeanors for 12 months prior to the award. Students must not owe money on any <a href=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/find-scholarships\/federal-work-study\/\">federal<\/a> or state <a href=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/apply-for-scholarships\/universities-best-financial-aid-packages\/\">financial aid<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students who drop below full-time status or withdraw from school may lose their aid. In some cases, they may even have to repay part, or all, of the financial aid they received. Students should check with their school\u2019s financial aid office before making any changes in their status.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you believe that you are eligible for the scholarship, but haven\u2019t received a notification, contact the financial aid office at your school.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What GPA Do You Need to Keep the Scholarship?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To keep the scholarship, students must earn a minimum cumulative LIFE GPA of 3.0. They also must earn an average of 30 credits per year to maintain the scholarship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The LIFE GPA determines your eligibility for the LIFE Scholarship. The LIFE GPA is the cumulative GPA earned at all eligible public and independent institutions. This includes credits and the GPA that a student earned before graduating high school. It does not include remedial or developmental courses, non-degree credit courses, and continuing education courses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Can You Regain the LIFE Scholarship?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students who don\u2019t meet the minimum <a href=\"https:\/\/scholarshipowl.com\/blog\/guides\/whats-the-difference-between-weighted-and-unweighted-gpa\/\">GPA<\/a> requirements or the credit hours will no longer be eligible to receive the LIFE Scholarship. But, they may regain eligibility if they have a minimum 3.0 GPA by the end of the next academic year. They also must have another 30 credit hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students may be able to use the summer to improve their GPA or earn more credits. Students who want to earn credits from another school should verify that their school will accept these credits.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How to Appeal If You Lose the LIFE Scholarship?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extenuating life circumstances may have prevented students from maintaining their LIFE Scholarship eligibility. If this is the case, they may submit an appeal to the Commission on Higher Education.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students may get an application for appeal after June 1. They can find this in their institution&#8217;s Financial Aid Office or the Commission on Higher Education. They can also apply<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.che.sc.gov\/Students,FamiliesMilitary\/Appeals.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> online<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They must submit the application by late September.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Final Thoughts<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The LIFE Scholarship increases access to a college education. It also helps to encourage students to graduate from school on time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students are awarded the scholarship for academic excellence. To maintain the scholarship, they need to earn a minimum cumulative LIFE GPA of 3.0. It\u2019s possible to lose the scholarship if you fall below the GPA. But, it\u2019s also possible to regain the scholarship by improving your GPA by the next academic year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scholarship is a great way for students in South Carolina to pay for college. Perhaps best of all, students don&#8217;t even need to fill out an application!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students in South Carolina have a great option to help with their college tuition.
