South Carolina H3453 provides free tuition for children of wartime veterans who meet residency and age requirements.

South Carolina H3453 amends the state code to offer free tuition to children of wartime veterans who meet specific residency and age criteria. The bill applies to children of veterans who were killed in action, died from other causes while in service, were prisoners of war, are permanently and totally disabled, or have been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. The child must be a resident of South Carolina since birth or meet other residency requirements. The provision takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
