How to Utilize Your Private Scholarships

All scholarship checks and authorizations should be mailed to the address below - do not send scholarship checks with your payment to the Business Office.

Office of Student Financial Aid
Box 345123, G-01 Sikes Hall
Clemson, SC 29634

Make sure that the full name of the student and student's Clemson ID number is included. If the check is made payable to you and Clemson University, please endorse the check before sending it to Student Financial Aid to avoid delays in processing. If there are any special disbursement requests, please indicate these as well. General policy is to release one half of the award for the fall semester and the other half for the spring semester.

Once we have received your check, we will credit the amount to your student account.
