The Honors, Awards, and Scholarship Committee in consultation with the deans and department chairs nominate the highest achieving students each year for recognition in each academic area from the five schools and colleges, the Magellan Scholars, and the University Honors Program.

The university's Honors Program offers academically talented, highly motivated students opportunities for enriched learning experiences both in and outside the classroom. Honors students participate in a unique learning community that enjoys small classes and independent study under the direction of UofSC Aiken's best teacher-scholars in a program that cultivates critical thinking, analysis and creative expression. Honors students have completed at least 20 percent of their academic program in courses designated or related to the Honors program.

Each Magellan Scholar receives funds to conduct their research project, competing for this award with the submission of a research, scholarship, or creative project proposal developed in collaboration with his or her faculty mentor. Selection is based on the project's educational and intellectual merit, the potential impact of the project, and the student's previous academic success. Magellan Scholars may be from any discipline or major, but must maintain an institutional GPA of 3.300 or greater, maintain consistent effort towards the completion of the project within the grant period, and dedicates his or her self to exploring the world while gaining valuable hands-on experience.
