John M. Lesesne, M.D., Scholarship

The John M. Lesesne, M.D., Scholarship was initiated originally as the O. Harleston and Juliette M. Lesesne Scholarship in 1987, as the result of a contribution from Dr. John M. Lesesne, The Citadel Class of 1941. The fund was named in honor of Dr. Lesesne’s parents who sacrificed during the depression so that he could attend The Citadel. In January of 2003, Dr. Lesesne amended the name of the scholarship to be the John M. Lesesne, M.D., Scholarship. Scholarships are available to cadets who possess attributes in accord with the high standards of The Citadel. The first award was made in 1985.
