van Bergen Scholarship

The van Bergen Scholarship was established in 2006 by Harmannus van Bergen, The Citadel Class of 1957, and his wife Margaret to fund an endowed scholarship for cadet carilloneurs to help ensure that The Citadel carillon is played on a regular basis. The scholarship will be awarded to a cadet who has been selected as one of the official campus carilloneurs. The recipient will learn to play the carillon under the supervision of the musician serving as the carillon master. The Citadel Carillonneur will identify a suitable candidate or candidates and make his/her recommendation to the Chaplain to the Corps of Cadets who will vet the candidate(s) and make the recommendation to the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships. The first award was made in 2008.
