SCDE gives $500 to those who want to continue education

Columbia, South Carolina – In South Carolina, the Department of Education is encouraging adults who didn’t graduate high school to go back to school.

Recently, they launched the GED incentive initiative. This program is a collaboration involving the Education Department, the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce, and the state Education Department’s Office of Adult Education.
