For Immediate Release
December 15, 2010

Columbia, SC…As South Carolina climbs slowly out of the Great Recession, families still find themselves faced with the daunting task of paying for college, even as they watch tuition rates rise. To help those families, ETV and the South Carolina Department of Education’s ITV team have once again put together a special program with updated information for 2011 that no parent or student will want to miss.

“Finding Money for College” airs LIVE Sunday, January 30, 5-7 p.m. on ETV. The new program will be hosted by Bette Jamison, co-hosted by Warren Wise, and will feature West Ashley High School from the Charleston County School District. School counselors from West Ashley will share how they assist students in finding money for higher education, and eight seniors talk peer-to-peer about what has helped them in the process. Throughout the program, a panel of financial aid experts from SC colleges and universities, SC Tuition Grants, and the Commission on Higher Education provide the current ins-and-outs of expenditures associated with pursuing a degree in higher education.

Viewers are invited to call in with inquiries during the live broadcast via a toll-free number that will be announced on air.
