I'll just quote it.

------------------
Long Term Support
Scientific Linux has plans to do security updates for 3 years from the 
initial release of an Enterprise product. So for the Scientific Linux 
3.0.x line, we plan on doing security updates for 3 years from the 
release of Enterprise 3. When we get close to the end of that we will 
make a more exact date.
There is a caveat to the above statement. This is just a plan. We do 
not, and cannot, guarantee our plan. There are too many factors for us 
to guarantee it. One of the possibilities is that the source rpm's from 
the Enterprise release will become unavailable. There are other factors 
that also may prevent a guarantee.
-------------------

So basically the support for 301, 302, 303, 304, 30x, will all end at 
the same time.
Will it be longer than three years?  Maybe, but we can't really say 
until that time comes.
Will it be less than three years? We hope not.
