"The Top Scholar Program has been such a meaningful part of my experience at USC. I have been able to build connections and friendships with my bright and motivated fellow scholars, receive the insights of my faculty mentor, and seek guidance and support from our dedicated Office of Fellowships and Scholarships staff. As a Stamps Scholar, I was given the opportunity to enrich my education through a study abroad experience in Chile, where I strengthened my Spanish language skills and learned about another country’s history and culture in an engaging way. The Top Scholar family has had such positive impact on my education at Carolina, and I am incredibly grateful to be a part of it."
