These Scholars underwent a rigorous application and interview process and faced remarkable competition to earn a spot in this group.  We are excited to see what they do with their senior year as Schottland Scholars!

A sincere thank you to all those students who applied to the program this year.  Our candidate class for the 2025-26 year was outstanding in every way, making this one of the most difficult decisions we’ve ever had to make.  The College of Charleston has much to be proud of and our School of Business students are certainly at the top of that list.
