Does anyone have any info on the Lyceum Scholarship and Lyceum Scholars program? We have read the info on their website but wondering how competitive is it to get into and how difficult are the required classes?
Okay did some more research and found out that the program is relatively new (2015) and they offer 10 scholarships for 2016. Does anyone know anymore about the program?
We spoke with a representative at Clemson . She made it sound like it was definitely doable and several classes could be used as Honors classes if student was accepted into Calhoun. There is a summer reading component and students usually take a class per semester. They are required to attend CISC public lectures and maintain a 3.4 GPA to remain in the program. Did your student already apply? Looks like the deadline was Dec 21,2015. Supposed to notify recipients in March. My son applied and is waiting to hear.
@carolinamom2boys @catholicmom3 re: Lyceum they seem to have extended the deadline until tonight for those who also applied to Calhouns. The emails said there would not be another extension beyond this though. My DD has been getting an email a day reminding her to apply. (Although she had read many of the books already she is not going to apply because the program did not fit with what she wants to study.)
Thanks @Themommymommy . DS16 submitted in Dec. Just waiting to hear. DS16 is a CS major, but political thought and philosophy intrigues him, and he loves a good discussion(debate) . Seems right up his alley. He said even if he doesn’t get the scholarship he will probably take several of the classes.
Yes, D16 applied tonight 30 minutes before deadline. Worked on her essays all weekend. Sounds like an interesting opportunity. So add us to the list of waiting to hear!
Good luck to your daughter @catholicmom3 .
Go Tigers!!!
All in!! Go Tiger!!!
My DS applied to Lyceum too - same thing, CS major. But he loves the way the program works. He applied right before one of the previous deadlines.
@carolinamom2boys - who is winning this game tonight?!?! :-S
TIGERS!!! I thought you were a BAMA fan @SouthFloridaMom9
Ha ha I like both! 8-> But I did wear my Bama shirt all day today. 
Plus why did Bama and Clemson fans have to go all the way out to Arizona? They should have just had the game in Atlanta. 
DD got her Tigertown Bound packet today! She is so excited. Waiting now on final financial aid package.
Congrats to your daughter @catholicmom3 . I knew you had nothing to worry about. Now we wait for Calhoun and Lyceum.
@carolinamom2boys Thanks! She did get OOS $ too. Yes, now the wait for Calhoun and Lyceum.
Still waiting to hear at our house. OOS student as well. Last week we received a marketing brochure from Clemsin’s Admissions Office. “Your future starts here”. Hoping this is a good sign. Why would they send that now… Anyone else get one of these.
@Cheer2016 Yes, we did also. Strange, as he applied in early September and we have not heard anything regarding admissions yet. Also OOS.
There’s some great video of Dabo Sweeny sledding down the hill in Death Valley on FB for all you future Tigers.
