Campaign - Honors | Clarkson University

At Clarkson Honors, transformational experiences begin early — and make a lasting difference. With your help, we’re expanding one of our most powerful programs: Summer Research.

With your generosity, Clarkson can enhance the rare opportunity for students to engage in faculty-guided, fully funded research before their very first semester — an extraordinary experience that defines their journey from day one and sets them apart from their peers nationwide.

Your support will:

Fund breakthrough research opportunities before and during college
Launch students into top graduate programs and careers
Build confidence, innovation and leadership that last a lifetime

Thanks to a generous $50,000 match, your gift now goes twice as far.

Your gift isn’t just a donation. It’s a statement of belief — in the power of education, the promise of young leaders and the future we’re building here at Clarkson.

Honors is "Home"

“Honors gave me everything I needed to succeed — an instant community, the flexibility to pursue two degrees in four years, funding to lead nationally and the chance to give back locally. It made Clarkson feel like home — and gave me the confidence to lead beyond it.” - Irini Konstantinou ’25, Process Engineer at GlobalFoundries

Sheryl and I share a deep passion for supporting students as they pursue their education at Clarkson. Contributing to the Honors Program has been an incredibly meaningful way to turn that passion into action. The Clarkson Honors Program stands out for its rigorous academics, impactful research and transformative student experience. I was truly inspired to see firsthand the dedication, care and personal attention the faculty and staff give each student — ensuring they are seen not as numbers, but as individuals with unique potential. Our world-class faculty helps Honors students sharpen their skills, strengthen their character and define their paths to future success. Clarkson graduates go on to achieve amazing things in the world, and Sheryl and I are grateful to play a small part in helping make that possible. We invite you to join us in supporting the next generation of Clarkson Honors students.
