Summer Semester LIFE Eligibility

For the LIFE Scholarship, students who are in two-year programs of study may be eligible to receive one of their remaining two terms of eligibility during the summer to accelerate to graduation. To participate in ummer scholarship disbursement, at the end of the spring semester, a LIFE Scholarship recipient must:

1. Earn a cumulative 3.0 LIFE GPA
2. Earn an average of at least 30 hours of non-remedial coursework during the fall and spring terms, including AP, IB, Dual Enrollment, CLEP or exempted credit hours.
3. A summer term cannot be scholarship recipient's first term of enrollment. First-time entering freshmen will not be penalized for any credit hours earned during the summer session immediately prior to the student's initial college enrollment. The credit hours earned will not count against the terms of eligibility. The credit hours may be used toward the annual credit hour requirement.

A student must demonstrate having attempted and/or enrolled in a total of at least 12 credit hours over the course of the entire summer term to be awarded. 

SC LIFE Scholarship recipients having met the continued eligibility requirements at the end of the spring term are eligible for a fall award regardless of their academic performance over the summer.
