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

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. Let's work to improve <
everybody's scores," Wilkins said.
