Thomas F. Chapman Leadership Scholars Program
The Thomas F. Chapman Leadership Scholars Program advances Clemson’s mission to develop strong leaders in every academic discipline by selecting first-year students from each of the University’s colleges and expanding their academic journey with additional educational and professional development opportunities. Rather than a one-time award, Thomas F. Chapman Leadership Scholars have the potential to receive funding, mentorship and educational opportunities over the course of three years.
