In-State Tuition Rates at South Carolina Public Institutions of Higher Education for Veterans, Service Members and Dependents

South Carolina public institutions offer in-state tuition pathways for qualifying active-duty personnel assigned in the state and their dependents, plus covered Veterans and dependents using qualifying federal education benefits while meeting the applicable physical-presence and program rules. This is not a blanket benefit for every Veteran regardless of circumstances. Ask the institution’s residency official to apply current state law and federal 38 U.S.C.3679; federal coverage expanded to Chapter 1606 for academic periods beginning on or after August 1, 2026.
