LIFE Scholarship and Palmetto Fellows Enhancement Changes
Beginning with the entering freshmen for Fall 2007, there are new requirements that must be met in the freshman
year in order for students to be eligible for the new LIFE Scholarship or Palmetto Fellows Enhancement during future years.
In order to qualify for the Palmetto Fellows or LIFE Scholarship Enhancement funding, students must have successfully completed a total
of fourteen credit hours of instruction in mathematics and life and physical science courses with a minimum of six hours in mathematics and a minimum of six
hours in life and physical science including one laboratory course during the first year of enrollment. For the purpose of meeting the required minimum level
of instruction in mathematics and life and physical sciences courses during a student's first year, advanced placement courses in mathematics
and life and physical sciences taken in high school in which the student scored a three or more on the advanced placement test and received college credit
may count toward the fulfillment of this minimum requirement. In addition, for purposes of meeting the required minimum level of instruction in mathematics and life and physical science
courses during a student's first year, dual enrollment and International Baccalaureate (IB) courses will be allowed to count toward the fulfillment of the minimum
fourteen credit hour requirement.
For the LIFE Scholarship Enhancements, students may also meet the required minimum level of instruction with Exempted Credit Hours, College Level Examination Program (CLEP),
and Pass/Fail courses with a grade of "pass" (only).
Remember, these required fourteen hours of course work must be taken during the first year which includes the fall and spring semesters as well as the summer terms that immediately follow.
