A Midlands college joins effort to help inmates earn their degrees​



Columbia, SC (WOLO) — A Midlands college is joining the effort to help those incarcerated in South Carolina earn their degrees.


Monday the HBCU Benedict College announced it has received a two million dollar grant through the South Carolina Coalition for Higher Education and Ascendium. Officials say the opportunity for an education can increase an inmate’s chances of them not returning to prison.


Other colleges also taking part in the program include Claflin University, Denmark Tech, and Morris College among others
