First Lieutenant Christopher I. Stoddard Memorial Scholarship

The First Lieutenant Christopher I. Stoddard Memorial Scholarship was established in 2006 as a result of a contribution from Christina and Clifford Stoddard. The fund is named in memory of their son Christopher, The Citadel Class of 2000. While at The Citadel, Christopher was a member of Bravo Company and then served in Palmetto Battery, where he was the Athletic Officer, Cadre Platoon Sergeant, and Cadre Platoon Lieutenant. Trained as a pilot by the United States Navy, Christopher died while on active duty with the Air Force at the 50th Airlift Squadron in Little Rock, Arkansas, in December 2002. Scholarships are available to junior or senior cadets who have intent to enter into an aviation career field in any branch of military service. Preference is for a student who is Catholic. The first award was made in 2010.
