FIERCELY, we are …
- Launching lives of significance through scholarships that ensure every exceptional student can access a transformative Honors education.
- Unlocking human potential through outside-the-classroom opportunities that empower students to solve real-world challenges.
- Igniting change through the ingenuity of top-tier student cohort programs that prepare scholar-leaders to shape the future.
Honors College graduates are fostered to be global leaders — whether they are lawyers advocating for justice, scientists advancing transformative STEM solutions or executives navigating international business with confidence gained through Honors experiences. Your investment ensures these students have access to life-changing opportunities like scholarships, research initiatives and study abroad programs.
Philanthropy fuels every aspect of the Honors College mission. By supporting scholarships, you help attract and retain top students. By funding programs like EUREKA! and Honors in Action, you expand access to research and experiential learning. By enabling the Faculty Fellows Program, you enhance interdisciplinary teaching and collaboration.
Featured Giving Opportunity
Honors Leadership Circle
By joining the Leadership Circle for Clemson Honors, you provide essential support that helps us recruit and retain top scholars, expand life-changing global and research experiences, and elevate the Clemson Honors experience for generations to come.
Leadership Circle funding is strategically invested to strengthen the full arc of an Honors student’s journey—ensuring a strong start and a successful finish.
On one end, it provides faculty mentorship and early research opportunities for pre-enrolled first-year students, immersing them in hands-on discovery before they even take their first fall class.
On the other, it offers completion grants to ensure financial barriers don’t force promising students to step away from Honors just before they reach the finish line.
Leadership Circle donors help ensure that the best and brightest not only begin their journey with momentum but also have the support they need to see it through to the highest levels of academic achievement.
Your unrestricted annual gift of $10,000 or more to the "Honors College Excellence Fund" fuels innovation and ensures Clemson Honors remains a premier destination for high-achieving students.
