Getting a paid summer internship just got a lot more doable for South Carolina college students. Coastal Carolina and Lander University are pushing for state funding to offer stipends, following the lead of Clemson and USC. These programs help cover living costs, so students don’t have to turn down valuable work experience just because they can’t afford it. The focus is on high-demand fields like healthcare, tech, and education—plus, the money isn’t a loan. With more support, local grads are more likely to stay and work in South Carolina. How would paid internships have changed your college experience? #Education #College #SouthCarolina
