Many sources of financial aid, including the Pell Grant, are available from colleges for military and family members. Military members and their dependents pay in-state tuition costs rather than the higher out-of-state costs when they attend state-supported colleges in South Carolina. (Not all schools do this. Some charge dependents out-of-state tuition rates.)
