CLEMSON -- Clemson ranks 24th and the University of South Carolina ranks 31st on a Kiplinger's Personal Finance list released today of top values in public colleges.
"It does show that Clemson is still affordable and also is increasing in academic quality," said Clemson spokeswoman Cathy Sams. "You can get a high quality education at a reasonable price."
USC spokesman Russ McKinney said the recognition "is certainly a plus."
Lottery-funded scholarships help make the schools a good value for South Carolinians, Sams and McKinney said.

"They were designed to keep the best students in South Carolina, and that's been proven to be a real success. That's certainly a factor in where we stack up," he said.
The list identifies 100 public four-year schools "where students can receive a stellar education without graduating with a mountain of debt," a Kiplinger press statement says.
Public schools have an average tuition of $5,491 a year compared to private colleges' average of $21,235, it says.
Public colleges are luring top talent away from pricier schools, Kiplinger said.
"Affordability is an issue," Sams said, "but (students) are driven by the desire to get a top-tier education."
The magazine ranked more than 500 public four-year colleges and universities on academic quality, cost and aid.
