Stephen D. Falkenbury, Sr., and Lillian R. Falkenbury North Carolina Piedmont Area Scholarship

The Stephen D. Falkenbury, Sr., and Lillian R. Falkenbury North Carolina Piedmont Area Scholarship was initiated in 1983 as the result of contributions from Stephen D. Falkenbury, Jr., The Citadel Class of 1949, and other Citadel graduates in the North Carolina Piedmont area. The fund is named in memory of Stephen D. Falkenbury’s parents, Stephen D. Falkenbury, Sr., and Lillian R. Falkenbury. Scholarships are available to cadets who possess attributes in accord with the high standards of The Citadel. Preference will be given to applicants from middle income families, where both parents work, or from single parent family homes, and to applicants who reside in the North Carolina counties of Cabarrus, Rowan, Stanly, Iredell, and Mecklenburg or North Carolina in general, or the New York metropolitan area with Richmond County preferred. The Deed of Trust permits annual awards in an amount equal to the net earnings plus any contribution made to the fund the previous year. The first award was made in 1987.
