Meet Elise Blackburn, the new Assistant Director of Scholarship Programs and Major Fellowships for the Honors College!

Hi everyone! My name is Elise Blackburn, and I am the new Assistant Director of Scholarship Programs and Major Fellowships for the Honors College. I'm a two-time Clemson alum, having earned my bachelor's degree in Spanish & International Health and my master's in Counselor Education. I am also an alum of the U.S. Student Fulbright Program, spending my grant as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant at IE University in Madrid, Spain running their writing center. I'm excited to be back at Clemson, developing long-term relationships with students and advising them through a turning point in their lives. If you are interested in learning more about nationally competitive awards, make an appointment with me through OMF's website. I'd love to meet you!

We’re so excited to welcome Elise back to the OMF team!
