The bill S. 356 proposes an amendment to Section 59-101-620 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to educational fee waivers at public institutions of higher learning. The amendment allows these institutions to offer educational fee waivers to no more than four percent of the undergraduate student body, as previously established. However, it introduces a new provision that permits institutions to offer an additional four percent of educational fee waivers, specifically benefiting undergraduate South Carolina in-state students.

This change aims to enhance access to higher education for in-state students by increasing the number of available fee waivers. The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor, reflecting the state's commitment to supporting its residents in pursuing higher education opportunities.
