Question for In State SC Lottery Scholarships

My son qualifies for the Life scholarship, but it is not showing up on his financial aid portals at Clemson and a couple other SC colleges. Does anyone know from past years when it shows up on the financial aid portals? Is it not until after graduation? Thanks!

If I remember correctly, the life scholarship does show up in the financial aid portal. Last year, my daughter was accepted to Univ of SC and Clemson, and her fin aid portal had the federal loans and the life scholarship. This was all last year, so I’m not sure if things changed. Still, you can check with your son’s high school counselor that deals with the state lottery scholarships. They’ll know if everything is complete or if additional info is needed.

It also helps if your son emails Clemson through his Clemson email and ask for additional scholarships. At the time, my daughter felt she should have qualified for some of the Clemson scholarship and she gave Clemson’s fin aid an email through her Clemson email. Even though Clemson mentioned that they were out of money, we saw a $500/yr scholarship added to her fin aid portal. So, it never hurts to ask if there are any types of school scholarships left that Clemson feels your son deserves.
