Fred J. Carter Scholarship

The Fred J. Carter Scholarship was established in 1994 in memory of Fred J. Carter, The Citadel Class of 1967, by his widow, his mother-in-law, his aunt and uncle, and friends. Mr. Carter gave his life in service to his country on November 5, 1969, in an F-4 Phantom jet crash in Vietnam. The scholarship is awarded to an Air Force ROTC student who is a resident of South Carolina and possesses high standards of leadership, scholarship, and patriotism, in accord with the high standards of The Citadel, with preference given to cadets demonstrating financial need and majoring in political science. The first award was made in 1996.
