Students who complete all requirements for high school graduation prior to the official graduation date in May/June may be eligible to receive the LIFE Scholarship or Lottery Tuition Assistance. Students must submit two items to the Office of Financial Aid before the start of the spring semester: 1. A final official high school transcript, 2. A letter on school letterhead signed by the principal or guidance counselor stating that the student has completed all of the SC graduation requirements. Students are responsible for ensuring that all required documentation is submitted to the Office of Financial Aid. Information on required documentation can be found on https://www.che.sc.gov/Students,FamiliesMilitary/StudentAppeals.aspx.
You and/or your parents have indicated that you “will file but have not yet completed” your income tax return. Once you and/or your parents have filed your tax returns with the IRS, please change the response to this/these question/questions to “have completed”. Your financial aid will remain incomplete until the “will file” status is amended.
