Class of 1970 Scholarship

The primary purpose of this endowment is to provide funds to support first-generation college students who demonstrate financial need. The college’s Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships administers the scholarship program at The Citadel. Endowed scholarships are awarded on a year-to-year basis. A student who is the recipient one (1) year is eligible for consideration in subsequent years; however, he or she must again comply with the selection criteria. From year to year, a student’s financial need may change; therefore, the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships may use its discretion to change the award recipient, the award amount, or both, with respect to a student’s total financial aid package. As a rule, the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships will use scholarship awards to benefit as many students as possible.
