Ken Welch Memorial Scholarship

The Ken Welch Memorial Scholarship was initiated in 2007 by The Citadel Class of 1957. The purpose of this endowment is to provide funds to a cadet who has been selected as one of the official carillonneurs to play the Thomas Dry Howie Memorial Carillon on the campus. This scholarship will ensure that the carillon is played on a regular basis. 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 recipient of the scholarship will learn to play the carillon under the supervision of the musician serving as the carillon master. The first award was made in 2009.
