I have provisional acceptance for Clemson and am Hispanic so my problem now is trying to maximize the scholarships I can receive. I checked to see if there was any minority specific scholarships available and could only find this from their scholarships page which wasn’t too helpful:

"Clemson strives to offer outstanding academic programs to a diverse student body.

The University’s commitment to diversity is founded in the knowledge that intellectual, social and cultural diversity are essential ingredients in the educational process.

As part of Clemson’s effort to create a diverse student body, several academic scholarships have been developed. All accepted applicants are considered for these scholarships. With the exception of the Clemson Scholars Program, the criteria used in evaluating candidates include:"

From what I was told their application process wasn’t too concerned with community service or anything like that so I didn’t put too much effort into bulking that part of my application given the provisional acceptance. I have applied for the CHC and spent a lot of time explaining my leadership and community service activities but I am worried they will only be looking at the first application. Apart from the scholarships through Clemson, has anyone found/received minority specific Clemson scholarships from a 3rd party?
