Make a Financial Gift

Our highest priority is to build this foundation account to support excellence in the research, teaching and community engagement missions of the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences. Funds are used to support faculty recruitment, student activities and awards, special events to celebrate accomplishments and educational priorities. Gifts here support broad success across the school.

Provides support to students while taking actuarial exams and pursuing a career as an actuary. This makes a difference to students because 1) it supports their professional development, and 2) it is funded by generous alumni and friends in the field.

For years, the School has put on the Clemson Calculus Challenge for high schoolers in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia. This fund provides scholarships annually for winners of that challenge who ultimately come to Clemson for their undergraduate education.

Established through the estate trusts of Edward Stanley and Virginia Stanley, this fund provides scholarships for first year students in the School. Virginia Stanley worked at Clemson for 32 years, and was a longtime secretary in the mathematics department. Her first husband, Howard Jackson Sr., was a 1934 alumnus killed in military action in 1943. She married Edward Stanley in 1972, who was a mathematics professor from 1943 to 1972, and honorary member of the Class of 1952.

Originally established as an award in 1982, this fund has grown into a scholarship endowment through gifts by family and friends. Alice Fulmer was an instructor in mathematical sciences in the 1960s and early 1970s, and was a role model for all students especially young women in the discipline. Her son, John, established this in her memory.

Recognizing graduate students in the for outstanding contributions in research, teaching and in citizenship. Madeleine Drennon was a landlady and good friend to many graduate students. After her death in 1989, some students established the fund in her memory. Bill Gabet was a graduate student in the department (1981–1983). He lived in one of the apartment complexes managed by Drennon. Gabet passed away in 1993, and the Drennon/Gabet fund was amended in his memory.

This scholarship was established to support student applicants who exhibit promise of assuming leadership roles in developing and applying the tools of mathematical sciences. Claire Aucoin taught introductory mathematics and calculus courses for years until she retired in 1988. Clayton Aucoin, Ph.D. was appointed head of the department in 1963 and established the graduate program. He was later appointed dean of the College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, retiring in 1988. The Aucoins’ personal and professional partnership began on Clayton’s first day at Auburn where they both attended graduate school.

This scholarship was established by Tom and Drew Weeks for their firm belief in the importance of mathematics in success in business, education and research. The endowment provides undergraduate scholarships to students. It is supported through many gifts from family and friends.
