CRF Establishes a Partnership with ClemsonLIFE!

Great news! The Cooper Royall Foundation has officially established a partnership with the ClemsonLIFE program. On 10/28/20, CRF established the Cooper Royall Foundation Annual Grant-in-Aid for a ClemsonLIFE student each year.

Our first grant will be given to a student in the Spring of 2021 and we can’t wait to meet him or her and share their family’s story with all of you!

The CRF Grant is given in recognition of the life-changing work of ClemsonLIFE towards the development of critical living skills for young adults with special needs, and to amplify the lifelong commitment of energy and financial resources that their families devote to their advancement. The Cooper Royall Foundation Scholarship assists one student and their family’s journey to attend the ClemsonLIFE Program each year.

CRF is also in discussions with program leadership to establish future initiatives to make an even larger impact!

ClemsonLIFE is one of the leading Postsecondary Programs for Special Needs Individuals in the country. Designed for students with intellectual disabilities who desire a postsecondary experience on a college campus, the mission of ClemsonLIFE is to provide a coordinated course of study that includes career exploration and life preparation along with self-awareness, discovery, and personal improvement with the ultimate aim for ClemsonLIFE graduates to lead independent lives.
