SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED
BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.
The South Carolina
Commission on Higher Education proposes the following revisions to Chapter 62
regulation, R.62-300 through 62-375, Palmetto Fellows Scholarship Program.
Revisions to the existing regulation for the Palmetto Fellows Scholarship and
Palmetto Fellows Scholarship Enhancement Program are being considered to
clarify the policies and procedures for administrating the program. In the
proposed amendments, the regulation is being updated to reflect changes to the
ACT test, making the Science subject test optional for a Composite score.
Lastly, other changes to the regulation include updating of definitions and
minor language changes to promote consistency.
The proposed regulation will
require legislative review.
A Notice of Drafting was
published in the State Register on June 27, 2025.
