The SCPA Foundation Board is proud to announce 2026 recipients of two scholarships and two internships.

Nathan Inman is a sports communication and marketing double major at Clemson University.
A native of Spartanburg, Inman is the son of the late Kelley Inman.
As this year’s Mundy Scholar, he will receive $1,000 to put toward his education. The Mundy Scholarship is given in memory of R. Frank Mundy, the late publisher of the Index-Journal in Greenwood and the first president of the SCPA Foundation. Inman will also serve as a summer intern at The (Seneca) Journal.
Inman has gained experience in multiple areas of media as a student, working with Clemson Video as a sports camera operator during his freshman year. Additionally, Inman is the assistant sports editor and newsletter editor of his college newspaper, The Tiger, and a writer/editor intern with the Robert H. Brooks Sports Science Institute. Inman plans to pursue a career in the realm of sports, particularly in areas of broadcasting, journalism or public relations.
Beyond his involvement in student media, Inman is also a Residential Community Mentor with Clemson Home. Inman has held the position since his sophomore year and will continue in the role through his graduation next May.
“I am honored to be a recipient of the Mundy Scholarship for the 2026-27 academic year,” Inman said. “I take pride in my work as a student journalist and am greatly appreciative of the recognition and support that this scholarship will provide me as I continue to pursue a career within journalism.”
