University Honors College Class of 2024

The primary mission of the Honors College at Coastal Carolina University is to encourage and assist honors students in developing reasoning, intellectual, leadership, decision-making, organizational, and social skills through high-quality, challenging classroom instruction and participation in community service projects.

Brown Scholars

The Brown Scholars are a select group of three to six Coastal Carolina University students who educate and mentor students in the Each One Teach One Entrepreneurship Institute. The scholars are trained by the director and by the advisory board of  Each One Teach One. The scholars deliver workshops on life and leadership skills to middle and high school students in the Conway area.  Scholars are community leaders, enthusiastic educators, and caring role models.

Dyer Fellows

The focus of the Dyer Institute for Leadership and Public Policy is to engage students in active learning opportunities where they may gain knowledge in various areas of policy research. The goal is to provide students with experience that will connect academic theory to practice as well as foster the importance of civic-minded citizens.

Jackson Scholars

Students are chosen every other year for Coastal Carolina University’s two-year Jackson Scholars program, established in 2004 to cultivate and promote awareness in students of the importance of personal and professional integrity.

Swain Scholars

Established through the generous donation of Kenneth Swain of Myrtle Beach, the scholarship and credit-bearing Swain Scholars program develops students in community health outreach through coursework, training and internships.
