Pursuant to the S.C. Education Lottery Act, which was established in 2001 and amended by Act 48 and Act 95 during the 2005 legislative session, the Commission on Higher Education shall promulgate regulation and establish procedures to administer the Lottery Tuition Assistance Program at the State two-year public and independent institutions. The purpose of the Lottery Tuition Assistance Program is to provide resources to the extent that funds are available that supplement, not supplant, existing resources for educational purposes to South Carolina's students. The program will assist students who wish to attend two-year public or independent colleges in South Carolina.
Independent and public institutions of higher learning in this, or any other state in the U.S., outside the U.S. or abroad are prohibited from using the Lottery Tuition Assistance Program or "LTAP" in programs that promote financial aid incentives or packages. Any mention of the Lottery Tuition Assistance Program or "LTAP" in these financial aid packages must indicate the scholarship to be separate from the University that is offering the financial aid package, and reference the Lottery Tuition Assistance Program as a separate financial aid award, provided to the student by the State of South Carolina.
