In regard to qualification for 2020 Life and Palmetto Fellow Scholarships:

CHE has enacted emergency regulations to allow for students to continue standardized testing through July of 2020. Students will now have the opportunity to obtain a qualifying score by the July test administration of the ACT during 2020.
