The Jill Conway Annual Scholarship
The Jill Conway Scholarship was established by its namesake and supported by CofC Honors alumni, faculty, staff, and friends that wanted to pay tribute to Jill’s impact on the Honors College. Jill Conway was an employee of the College of Charleston from 1984 until her retirement in 2017. Jill was an integral part of the development of the Honors College’s Living-Learning Community. Thanks to Jill’s efforts, the Honors College experience extended beyond the classroom. The scholarship is intended to recognize a current Honors College student that demonstrates engagement, personal growth, curiosity to explore new interests, and who are motivated to enhance their classroom experience.

The Chad V. Adams ’18 Memorial Scholarship
Chad V. Adams ‘18 embraced life’s adventures fearlessly and had a dedication to bring his best to whatever he pursued. Devoted to family and friends, he approached the world with an open heart, great joy, and compassion. This memorial scholarship celebrates the life of a true Renaissance man who embodied the ideals of the College of Charleston Honors College during his years at CofC and after graduation. Though he had not previously considered the possibility or reality of what life would be like as an Honors College student, Chad fully embraced the program, graduating with a degree in Biology, receiving departmental honors in Biology as well as the Outstanding Student Award, and gaining research experience during the summer in the Department of Anesthesia at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.
