What begins as a single adventure becomes a lifetime of discovery.

Once students earn their CMS certificate, they become official Carolina Master Scholars alumni and are invited to continue their adventures by enrolling in additional courses. CMS alumni opportunities include:

• early arrival on Sundays (includes lunch) so you can get settled and become an official greeter for incoming scholars

• a special T-shirt and nametag identifying you as a CMS alumnus

• opportunity to be an ambassador at CMS graduations, trade shows, and other University functions

• continued certification of your extracurricular academic activities

• a 5 percent discount on CMS residential and commuter programs.

Once you enroll at the University of South Carolina, you will also be invited to our annual CMS alumni reunions, and you can also apply to be a CMS program counselor.
