New McMaster proposal could freeze SC college tuition - LUCAS DAPRILE, the State

There may be an end in sight for relentlessly rising tuition rates at South Carolina colleges and universities. S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster is proposing to increase recurring higher education funding 6 percent in exchange for the colleges not raising in-state tuition or fees in the 2019-2020 academic year, the governor announced Tuesday. The proposal, which allocates $36 million in recurring funding to colleges, is a part of the governor’s requested fiscal year 2020 budget plan. https://www.thestate.com/news/local/education/article224517510.html
