Beoi What Retur I Note: Productions a I 1 into program LIFE sch selection _ _1 _ r unaer rir News Roundup Associated Press Half as many black high school seniors qualified for scholarship money as white students under South Carolina's new LIFE scholarship program because they scored less than 1,000 on the SAT. More than 14,000 students received LIFE scholarships during the fall semester, the first year the program was available, but fewer than 2,000 of those were black, The Greenville News reported Monday. Last year, about 4.6 percent of all black college students earned the new scholarship, while 9.7 percent of all white college students earned the aid, according to the state Commission on Higher Education. "That's a disgrace," Sen. Darrell Jackson, D-Columbia, said. Use of the SAT as a primary selection criteria for college admissions has been under fire for years. More recently, the NCAA has faced legal challenges to minimum SAT requirements for college athletes. The Commission on Higher Education can't do anything to change how the qualifications for the scholarships are handled, spokesman Charlie FitzSimons said. The 1,000-point standard is spelled out in the law, he said. That's just below the 1,010 average white students scored on the SAT : ill my1 type of band would you like to see at (JSC?

CAROLINA NEWS olarship f process I e again last year, but nearly 200 points above the 821 average for black students, according to the state Department of Education. South Carolina has the nation's lowest average SAT scores. The state gave 14,000 LIFE Scholarships to South Carolina students when it debuted last fall. About 13 percent of the recipients, or 1,887 students, were black. Jackson is calling for lawmakers to take a closer look at standards used to provide LIFE scholarships. "I don't know the solution, but I do think we ought to take a look at it," Sen. James Bryan, D-Laurens and a member of the Senate Education Committee, said. Sen. Ralph Anderson, D-Greenville, filed a bill which would also remove the SAT requirement but drop the amount for freshmen to $1,000 to allow more students into the program. House leaders aren't ready to cut the standards. It wasn't like we set this extremely , high standard to start with," said House Speaker David Wilkins, R-Greenville and a co-author of the scholarship leg- } islation. "I think 1,000 is a very rea sonable standard tied to a B average. ? I don't think eliminating the criteria is the answer.
