Scholar Programs With Purpose
At Clemson, students pursue their academic interests with more than grades in mind. Scientists research new methods to treat disease, educators use their resources to learn the best way to share information with a younger generation, and communicators adapt to new mediums in order to tell meaningful stories. For students driven to take their education further, a variety of scholarship programs await with resources, mentors and communities of like-minded scholars to offer support.
Peer mentoring makes the difference
Undergraduate scholar programs comprise small cohorts that bring students together for a greater impact. Each scholar is paired with a peer mentor, a relationship that enables the mentor to pass down lessons learned in the scholar program and empowers the next generation of scholars to steward their gift well.
