Furman Scholars Program
The Furman Scholars program seeks to honor high school juniors who exhibit strong academic potential, demonstrate leadership potential, and show significant involvement in extracurricular activities and community service. Guidance counselors nominate current juniors to participate in the program. Those students selected who enroll in Furman are awarded at least $5,000 in scholarships and are eligible for a 10 percent discount on our
Summer Scholars program.
