Educational Enrichment Awards
The purpose of the Educational Enrichment Awards (pdf) is to provide life-changing educational experiences outside the classroom. These experiences may be internships, foreign study, public service projects or other significant undertakings that are consistent with the student's educational, career and/or personal goals. Priority will be given to proposals that show promise for contributing to a strong and potentially successful application for an extramural fellowship. Such fellowships include, but are not limited to, the Rhodes, Marshall, Truman, Mitchell, Goldwater and Udall scholarships, and Fulbright Grants. Normally, awards are made up to $3,000.

EUREKA!
Beginning in the summer of 2006, Calhoun Honors College students will have the opportunity to participate in the EUREKA! program. Experiences in Undergraduate Research, Exploration and Knowledge Advancement (EUREKA!) is a unique and exciting new program that will enable honors students to pursue research and scholarly activities with faculty across all disciplines. There will also be several social and extracurricular activities including white-water rafting, day hikes and outings to sporting or cultural events. Admission to EUREKA! is by application and is limited to approximately 60 current freshmen and incoming freshman and who have been invited to and have accepted membership in Clemson's Calhoun Honors College.
Dixon Fellows Program
Founded in 1996, the Joseph E. and Caroline G. Dixon Fellows Program brings together some of Clemson University's best students and faculty to form a unique community dedicated to intellectual, cultural and personal learning and growth. Our purpose is to enhance the students' ability to compete for international fellowships and for admission to top-level graduate and professional schools; and, ultimately, to enable them to assume a position of leadership and responsibility in their communities and in the world.
At the heart of the Dixon Fellows experience is the mentor group, a small number of students (the junior fellows) meeting together with a professor (senior fellow) who acts as role-model, mentor and guide. These small groups meet regularly throughout the semester to engage in a variety of formal and informal programs and events, each designed to encourage discussion and conversation, and to enable the junior fellows to learn from the senior fellows, from invited guests and from each other.
