The South Carolina Education Scholarship Trust Fund is a program administered by the South Carolina Department of Education, designed to provide scholarships to qualifying families to create a customized and flexible education for their children. The program, supported by ClassWallet, offers scholarships worth $6,000 per eligible student per school year. These scholarships can be used for various educational expenses, including tuition, textbooks, tutoring, and technological devices, among others.

Eligibility for the scholarship requires that students be residents of South Carolina and meet specific criteria related to school attendance and household income. The program is structured to expand over the years, with the number of scholarships increasing from 5,000 in the 2024-2025 school year to 15,000 in subsequent years. The application process for the scholarships opens annually, with specific timelines for submission.

The program also outlines a process for education service providers to apply and participate, ensuring a wide range of educational goods and services are available to scholarship recipients. The initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance educational opportunities and flexibility for families in South Carolina.
