Victoria Chichester

Victoria “Vic” Chichester is beginning her freshman year at Clemson University’s ClemsonLIFE program this fall as this year’s Ruby’s Rainbow William “Will” Spalten Scholarship recipient, with graduation expected in 2030 and her sights set on job internships and new opportunities, including a dream of one day opening her own bakery.

Getting accepted into ClemsonLIFE is a dream come true for Vic, in her own words, “It’s my dream!” and she’s proud to inspire others to chase their dreams too. She’s a successful athlete and leader on her Special Olympics swim team, a valued member of the work team at Cobblestone Golf Club, and stays active with bowling as well. This year, she’s excited to experience full college life, rush for a sorority, and eventually live independently with friends.

Vic is passionate about dancing, singing, and music of every genre, especially country, along with baking, making TikTok videos, and going out to dinner and shopping with friends. A self-described fashionista, she loves planning outfits for concerts, college football games, and golf events.

In Vic’s own words: “I’m going to change the world!” With her infectious smile and positive energy, we believe her. Go Tigers, Vic, time to live your dream at Clemson!
