South Carolina is a member of the SREB's Academic Common Market. Students pay in-state tuition at participating out-of-state colleges. This plan helps students pursue a desired degree outside of South Carolina. For example, if you went to a member school in Georgia you would pay Georgia's in-state tuition. Other participating states are North Carolina and Georgia.
