In the newly approved state budget, in-state students with intellectual disability attending an IPSE program that is certified college transition program will receive $5,000 per semester in scholarship money, regardless of financial need. Additionally, the amount of money allotted for needs-based funding for students who qualify has doubled! As we seek to increase financial accessibility of IPSE programs, we also need to increase awareness amongst prospective students and their families, teachers, and disability service providers. Therefore, we're also thankful that the budget includes funding the work of the South Carolina Inclusive Post-Secondary Education Consortium (SCIPSEC) to increase knowledge and opportunity of inclusive college options across the state.
Thank you, Governor Henry McMaster and our legislators for investing in our students and their future!
