Ernest J. Owen Memorial Band Scholarship

The Ernest J. Owen Memorial Band Scholarship was established in 1995 as The Citadel Regimental Band Scholarship. In 2002, the scholarship was renamed in memory of Ernest J. Owen, The Citadel Class of 1954, in recognition of his tireless efforts in raising funds necessary to build the scholarship fund. Recipients of the scholarship will be selected by The Citadel Director of Music and must have attributes of ability, character, temperament, and personality that are in accord with traditionally high standards of The Citadel. The first award was made in 1996.
