Class of 1980 Citadel Scholar Scholarship

Established in 1987, the Class of 1980 Citadel Scholar Scholarship fund was initiated in 1994 as part of a five-year campaign by the Class of 1980 to fully fund an in-state Citadel Scholar scholarship. The scholarship is awarded to a student who meets The Citadel’s criteria and procedures for selecting Citadel Scholars. 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.
