Student Success Highlights
Major Fellowships
By the Numbers 70 Clemson students earned major fellowship awards 73% of Clemson’s select award recipients (Churchill, Fulbright, etc.) were Honors students
Honors students excelled at competing for major national and international scholarships and fellowships. Four Honors students earned Fulbright U.S. Student Awards and Horticulture alumnus Carson Colenbaugh ’22 was a Marshall Scholarship finalist. Genetics major and National Scholar Elizabeth Caldwell was also a finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship. Political Science and Modern Languages double major Briggs Murray became Clemson’s first Boren Scholar since 2018, and two of Clemson’s three Goldwater Scholars were Honors students. In another milestone, two Honors students, Mechanical Engineering major Regan O’Neill ‘25 and Biomedical Engineering major Makenzie Jones, secured a rare double Astronaut Scholarship win for Clemson — an achievement matched only once before, in 2022. Eleven of the 14 Clemson students and alumni awarded National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships were also Honors students. In addition, Environmental and Natural Resources major Helen Bailey was named one of only 55 Udall Scholars nationwide and as a finalist for the Truman Scholarship. Together, these achievements underscore the transformative impact of the Clemson University Honors College, where academic excellence and leadership development prepare students to lead with purpose and shape a better world.
