Find Your Fit

CPO offers college preparation and outreach programs that help K–12 students explore higher education and imagine what’s possible. Through academic enrichment, leadership development, college and career exploration, and guidance on preparing for college, students can build confidence, discover new interests, and take steps toward their future goals.

High School Programs

CPO’s high school programs help students prepare for college and explore what comes next. Through Emerging Scholars, Tiger Alliance, and the Snelsire, Sawyer, & Robinson Clemson Career Workshop, students can build academic and leadership skills, learn about the college application process, and get a closer look at college life and future opportunities.

Middle School Programs

Tiger Alliance Middle Pathway (TAMP) helps middle school students build academic confidence and explore their curiosity in STEM. Through interactive, interdisciplinary experiences, students strengthen math and literacy skills while developing leadership, resilience, and critical thinking. In partnership with families, TAMP supports students as they grow, imagine college and career possibilities, and begin building pathways toward future success.

Continuing Students

Tigers on Trail (TOT) helps students carry the support and connections they built through CPO into their first year at Clemson. Bringing together students from the Clemson Career Workshop, Emerging Scholars, and Tiger Alliance, TOT offers continued relationships and mentorship as students adjust to college life, work toward their goals, and prepare for what comes next.
