COLUMBIA, S.C. \u2014 Gov. Nikki Haley has signed into law a bill that gives military veterans in-state tuition at South Carolina colleges and universities as soon as they become residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haley signed the bill Thursday, about a week after it unanimously passed the House, The Senate also passed the bill unanimously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The law will waive the requirement that someone must live in South Carolina for a year to get in-state tuition. It applies to any veteran who was honorably discharged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Republican Rep. Bill Taylor of Aiken says passing the bill this year was vital because all veterans attending college in the state on the Post 9\/11 GI Bill would lose their benefits this summer without the law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
