Open to incoming freshmen in any major, the Lyceum Scholars Program at Clemson University offers $10,000 scholarships to study liberty, capitalism, the American founding, and moral character using a great books approach. Lyceum Scholars leave the program as serious thinkers, articulate speakers, and eloquent writers. Lyceum alumni are Ph.D. and law students, professors, lawyers, teachers, engineers, and businessmen and women.
What Lyceum Scholar Alumni Are Saying
“The Lyceum Scholars Program was integral in shaping skills that I now use daily: the high-level analysis of abstract concepts, the confidence to communicate boldly, and a willingness to learn. Without a doubt, the books I read and the conversations I shared in the Lyceum Scholars Program still guide my approach to the law through a deeper understanding of moral law, a renewed appreciation for our institutions, and, above all, a firmer foundation for my own convictions.” —Graham Pitman, '18 Law Clerk, U.S. District Court Judge
“The aspect of the Lyceum Program which has prepared me for my future endeavors is the development of my critical thinking abilities. Through the great books education, reading and engaging with political philosophy while seriously considering all its possible premises, conclusions and errors has taught me to think deeply and critically about contemporary issues. It has taught me to think about problems differently, approach them with a mindset attuned to the deepest causes of the issues and strive for the best possible solutions.” —Meredith Johnson, '22 Analyst, Singer Foundation
