Over the past thirty years, college tuition costs have more than tripled, leading to a staggering $1.75 trillion in student loan debt burdening the American economy. The "Live to Chase Initiative" by SCC aims to alleviate this burden by empowering our communities to "Dream It, Chase It, and Live It." For the 2024-2025 academic year, SCC will offer full tuition scholarships for its over 70 academic programs, making higher education accessible to everyone.
SCC's President, Dr. Michael Mikota, was thrilled with the announcement, stating, "At Spartanburg Community College, we believe that individual talent is the driving force behind both personal and economic success,” said Dr. Michael Mikota, President of SCC. “That’s why I’m proud to announce the continuation of our Live to Chase initiative, which will once again offer full tuition scholarships to qualifying students. In today’s fast-changing higher education landscape, SCC remains committed to leading through innovation—expanding access, making college more affordable, and supporting the determination and potential of every current and future Chaser we serve.”
WHAT does the Live to Chase Initiative cover?
- Covers tuition only for SCC academic (credit) program offerings so long as all eligibility requirements have been met (see above).
- Covers any remaining tuition balance after any financial aid grants and scholarships the student may have been awarded are applied.
- Does not cover books, supplies, fees, living expenses, etc. Students are responsible for any program-specific fees, including but not limited to: distance learning/hybrid distance learning fees, lab fees, and any other non-academic assessed fees.
