Colonel S.J. West Scholarship

The Colonel S.J. West Scholarship was established in 1989 by the Hon. John C. West, The Citadel Class of 1942, in honor of his brother, Colonel Shelton J. West, The Citadel Class of 1940, to recognize his distinguished military record, his love and devotion to The Citadel, and his contributions as an outstanding businessman and philanthropist. The recipient of the scholarship shall possess those attributes of ability, character, temperament, motivation and personality that are in accord with the traditionally high standards of The Citadel and must demonstrate financial need. Special consideration will be given to children who are orphans or from one-parent families. The first award was made in 1994.
