Continuing and Transfer Student Scholarships

Continuing students are automatically considered for Clemson Foundation Scholarships based on a variety of factors including financial need, major and Clemson GPA. Transfer students are also considered for these scholarships once a Clemson GPA is established. These scholarships are typically nonrenewable awards for one academic year, restricted to full-time students unless otherwise noted.

Clemson University Foundation scholarships are awarded based on criteria found in the scholarship fund agreement, academic performance and amount of other Clemson University Scholarships previously accepted by the student.

No scholarship application is required except for the Restricted Clemson University Foundation scholarships listed below. Students are automatically reviewed and considered for all other University scholarships.

Timeline 

First-year students who wish to be considered for University awards should submit their admissions application and all required materials by January 2.
