On April 29, 2026, The SC Tuition Grants Commission hosted a statewide training workshop for financial aid professionals at our partnering independent colleges. We were fortunate to have representatives from all 21 colleges throughout the state in attendance. Participants engaged with Commission staff on areas such as program funding, best practices in administration and compliance, determination of residency status for students, strategic planning initiatives, and more.

Financial aid professionals are key stakeholders for the Tuition Grants Program and for our agency. We appreciate the opportunity to provide training and information to them, and to receive their critical feedback in return. Thank you to all who attended!

Congratulations, Lily!
