Piedmont Area Mensa (PAM), a local chapter of American
Mensa, Ltd., serves the upstate region of South Carolina,
including Anderson, Clemson, Gaffney, Greenville, Greenwood,
Laurens, Spartanburg and surrounding communities.
Mensa is an international society made up of persons who score at or above
the 98th percentile on any one of a number of standardized
intelligence tests. Mensa has over 100,000 members worldwide and chapters
in more than 40 different countries.
The purpose of Piedmont Area Mensa is to offer
intellectual and social opportunities for members and to provide a positive
Mensa presence in the community.
Piedmont Area Mensa
participates in the annual scholarship program of American Mensa,
Ltd., awarding scholarships locally each year based on the results
of a student essay competition. Furthering its commitment to
the Upstate community, PAM provides member volunteers for numerous
local events, such as the annual St. Francis Festival of Trees. Proceeds from our fundraising activities are used to support PAM's
scholarships and other programs.
PAM also supports the Mensa
Educational & Research Foundation and other activities of
American Mensa and Mensa International to
identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity.
