  • Ttop Scholars
    TTOP SCHOLARS 2013-2014 Annual Report of Stamps Carolina, Carolina, McNair, Hamilton and Horseshoe Scholars ON THE COVER: The freshman scholars — affectionately known as first-year scholars — always enjoy their daylong adventure on the ropes course at Heathwood Hall Episcopal School. OT LONG AGO, these extraordinary Carolina, Stamps and McNair scholars, hailing from both in state and out of state, were tapped for scholarships based on their outstanding academic talent, exemplary character and remarkable leadership skills. As you will see in this edition of Top Scholars, they flawlessly corroborated Ralph Waldo Emerson’s observation that “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” As is the tradition with this community of scholars, each pursued his or her own path energetically and stamped it with both a singular and collective personality. Mentored by members of Carolina’s exceptional faculty and staff; supported by community and business leaders, alumni and donors; inspired by their peers; and touched by the needs of communities both here and abroad, they discovered the value and force of a world- Nclass education. They have journeyed to China and Peru, Turkey and Russia; learned from people in Greece and Romania; and honed their language skills in Ecuador and France. As they become citizens of the world, they embrace the accompanying responsibilities. Steeped in USC’s holistic approach, they graduate as emerging and enthusiastic leaders in medicine, research, business, media postproduction, education, law and more. They join the ever-growing pool of successful alumni who are building and shaping a new world. To our donors, our sincere thanks. You follow in the footsteps of patrons throughout history who have nurtured, valued and encouraged discovery in every arena.
