David D. Aughtry Palmetto Boys State Scholarship

The David D. Aughtry Palmetto Boys State Scholarship was established in December of 2007 by David D. Aughtry. The purpose of the endowment is to provide funds to support a one-year scholarship which shall be awarded each year to an attendee of Palmetto Boys State who has been selected to serve (and serves) as a Junior Counselor or similar position; has been recommended to receive this scholarship by whatever method the Director of Palmetto Boys State, or person in a similar position, deems appropriate; and who agrees to attend (and then attends) The Citadel. Should Palmetto Boys State cease to operate or use former Boys Staters as Counselors, the one-year scholarship should be awarded to the first president of the student body of a South Carolina high school who agrees to attend (and then attends) The Citadel. The College Scholarship Committee administers the scholarship program at The Citadel. Endowed scholarships will be awarded on a year-to-year basis. Students who are recipients one year are eligible for consideration any other year; however, they must again comply with the selection criteria. The first award was made in 2013.
