<p>I came across a listing in a national magazine which stated the average financial aid package at SC for the 2009-2010 year was $34,545. That is an average. Some will receive more and others will receive much less. Financial aid includes need based grants, work study, low interest loans, some state grants and government grants for those who qualify.</p>
