William J. Detyens Scholarship

The William J. Detyens Scholarship was established by Mr. William J. Detyens, a successful businessman in the Charleston, South Carolina area. Mr. Detyens named a three-person committee which will make recommendations to The Citadel Scholarship Committee. Recipients will possess those attributes of ability, character, temperament, and personality that are in accord with the traditionally high standards of The Citadel. Each scholarship award shall be for the period of one year, but recipients will be eligible for consideration for the award each year that they are in attendance at The Citadel so long as they meet the academic and disciplinary standards of the college for advancement to the next academic class. The first award was made in 2001.
