Fines and Fee Report

The South Carolina Governor’s School for Science and Mathematics is a publicly funded state agency. Per proviso 117.69, all state agencies must provide and release to the public a report of all fines and fees charged and collected by the agency in the previous fiscal year. GSSM does not deny access to any student due to financial need and is committed to ensuring the needs of each student are met to support and encourage student success and engagement. The institution, therefore, seeks to limit any fines or fees charged to its students and provides financial aid to those students who qualify. If you have any questions regarding GSSM’s fines and fees, please contact Elizabeth Oswald-Sease, Vice President for Finance and Operations, at eoswaldsease@governors.school.
