Abstract: This analysis determines the in-state tuition and fees coverage by merit aid funds, establishes the in-state cost of attendance coverage by merit aid funds, analyzes the comparable scholarship 2021 data from other states with South Carolina's, and determines at the student level the share of the in-state cost of attendance that the merit aid funds (LIFE Scholarship, Palmetto Fellows Scholarship, and SC HOPE Scholarship), state non-merit aid funds (Need-based Public, Need-Based Independent, Lottery Tuition Assistance, National Guard, and Foster Care), and the Pell Grant help cover. The report is grouped into four major analysis sections which reflect the type of data that were used: (1) In-State Tuition and Fees Analysis; (2) In-State Cost of Attendance Analysis; (3) Merit Aid Funds Comparison Analysis; and (4) Student Level Analysis.
