William R. Voigt, Jr., '51, Scholarship

In October of 2024, Mr. Julian “Dave” Voigt, ’78, announced to The Citadel Foundation the provision his parents left in their estates to establish the endowed William R. Voigt, Jr., ’51, Scholarship. The primary purpose of the William R. Voigt, Jr., ’51, Scholarship is to provide financial resources to support cadets with demonstrated financial need who are majoring in physics. First preference shall be given to students who are residents of South Carolina. In years in which no enrolled students meet the first geographic preference, the scholarship shall be available to cadets with demonstrated financial need majoring in physics who are residents of Maryland. In years in which no cadets majoring in physics meet either of the geographic preferences, the award shall be available to cadets with demonstrated financial need who are majoring in chemistry, with the same preference protocol as above. In years in which no students majoring in physics or chemistry meet the geographic preferences, the scholarship shall be available to any student with demonstrated financial need majoring in physics or chemistry.
