Class of 1939 Citadel Scholar Scholarship

Established in 1989, the Class of 1939 Citadel Scholar Scholarship fund was initiated by class members in 1980 to fund one in-state and one out-of-state Citadel Scholar annually. As the fund increased, the class agreed to fund an additional two Citadel Scholar scholarships, one in-state and one out-of-state. An additional out-of-state scholarship is awarded from this fund in recognition of a gift to the endowment from the family of class member, Robert J. Jones. Each Citadel Scholar receives a four-year, full-tuition award that includes all uniform and book expenses. Selection for the college’s most comprehensive and competitive scholarship program is based upon merit. Prospective freshman candidates will be invited to campus for a scholarship competition, including an interview with the Faculty Scholarship Committee. The scholarship is renewable for four years as long as the cadet continues to meet the eligibility requirements.
