There are obviously many summer programs across the country, and sometimes going do a different geographic area is the right thing to do for many reasons. However, if your student really wants to stay close, there are at least a couple of links to South Carolina programs on the list at http://www.clarku.edu/departments/prehealth/preparing/research.cfm (numbers 227 and 369). There are also several for surrounding states.
