Top Scholars class of 2026

For TopScholars or just Honors in general?

They were referring to Top Scholars.

I listened to the out-of-state scholarship webinar tonight and they said they’d be all out in the next 1-2 weeks. And that we’d hear either way - yes or no.

Oh ok

I guess we just need to wait. Good luck to all.

Just top scholars in the next 1-2 weeks? Or all OOS scholarships (Alumni, Elite, Excellence, etc)?

Sorry. I was not clear at all. Just Top Scholars. The rest of the scholarships are mid-March still.

Update to DD’s portal just now. She wasn’t selected. Knew it was probably a long shot, so no disappointment here. Congrats to those selected!

Sorry to hear that.

Just had my son check. Nothing here either way.

Turns out he had an email. He was not selected. Bummer. But good luck and congratulations to everyone selected!

Do you know if there was a separate application or is the honors college application for top scholars as well? Thank you!

As I understand it, the Honors College application serves as Top Scholars application as well.

Yes, as @KayBee03 said, the Honors College app serves to let admissions select TopScholars from the Honors applicant pool

got the email a few days ago abt not being selected as a top scholar oos. from the friends i’ve made in state so far, no one from south carolina has gotten a rejection or acceptance email besides the ones who heard a few weeks ago. i wasn’t expecting much bc it’s extremely competitive but it still would’ve been nice to get it so congrats to everyone who got an invitation!!

I’m sure you still are an outstanding applicant, so keep your head up. Thanks for the info you have given us so far about it, and now we just have to hope for the best!

It was stated in tonight’s HC webinar that the in-state Top Scholars candidates have not been finalized.

Top Scholar here as well. Did you get any communication about it from them after the confirmation email after officially registering?

Only the confirmation email so far.

one of my friends in state today said that her and all her friends got the denial letter today so they could still be making decisions but a majority are out of the running i believe
