Scholarships

The Office of Admissions reviews each applicant for scholarship eligibility. No additional scholarship application is required. High school performance, test scores (optional for 2022-2023 application cycle) and financial need are all considered when awarding scholarships. Students who do not submit test scores for the 2022-2023 application cycle will still be considered for merit scholarships. Incoming first-year students must apply for admission and submit supporting materials by January 2 for scholarship consideration. Merit scholarship packages are communicated to students in the spring. For more information, visit Student Financial Aid.

State and Federal Need-Based Aid

To be eligible for federal and state need-based aid, students need to fill out the FAFSA located at fafsa.gov by January 2. Students should start the financial aid process before the academic year in which they need assistance.

No separate application is required for the South Carolina LIFE Scholarship. Palmetto Fellows Scholarship applications are available through each high school in the state.

Student Employment

Federal Work-Study

The Federal Work-Study Program provides jobs for undergraduate and graduate students who have established financial need through the submission of the FAFSA.

Part-time Employment

On- and off-campus jobs can be found through Clemson JobLink, which connects students with employers who are directly seeking Clemson students.

Co-op and Internships

Clemson’s unique University Professional Co-op and Internship (UPIC) program provides over 900 paid, on-campus internships for undergraduate students. The Michelin Career Center also facilitates off-campus internships and co-op opportunities for students.

Residency

Clemson makes a residency decision based on South Carolina state laws and regulations. The University is required to independently verify that all students meet these regulations to qualify for in-state tuition.

If residency is brought into question, please visit the Residency Classification website for more information and instructions for the residency application process.
