My Honors College

Scholar Programs

We are the home base for Stamps, Carolina, McNair, 1801 and Horseshoe Scholars. These scholars are learners first and foremost, but also serve as researchers, global citizens, volunteers, campus leaders and interns, and are well prepared for graduate school and the workplace. They are among some of the most giving, spirited and appreciative students at the University of South Carolina. Learn more about the Top Scholar application process.

Scholar Expectations

Top Scholars must meet these renewal requirements annually to maintain their award.

Scholars United

Our scholars take the lead in many kinds of social and skill-building events and activities.
