NATIONAL SCHOLARS
Incoming National Scholars participate in a first-year workshop that introduces students to the tenets of the NSP. Scholars also meet once a week throughout the academic year. Activities, projects, and seminars help Scholars build community within their cohort and cultivate their professional networks, while encouraging them to think about their roles as changemakers at Clemson.
National Scholar Elizabeth Caldwell was named a 2024 Truman Scholar. She is Clemson’s fourth Truman Scholar (and third National Scholar to win a Truman) since 2017 and the University’s fifth recipient in 42 years. National Scholars won several major awards this year, including the Fulbright and two of the University’s three awards to its top students in the May 2024 graduating class.
In May, National Scholars were joined by Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Robert H. Jones on trips to Germany and Greenland — study-travel experiences that were designed to help the scholars develop intercultural competencies, grow personally and intellectually, build community within and across their scholar cohort, and equip them to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time.
