Additional documents relating to the tuition prepayment contract, issued or received by the Board, on behalf of the Program, and pursuant to the various terms and conditions described at Title 59, Chapter 4 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, 1976, will be incorporated into the tuition prepayment contract as appropriate.

A tuition prepayment contract provides, unless otherwise stated therein, payment by the Fund of in-state tuition, on behalf of the designated beneficiary of the tuition prepayment contract, to the college or university in which the designated beneficiary matriculates.
