Samuel F. Lyons Citadel Leadership Scholarship

The Samuel F. Lyons Leadership Scholarship Fund is named in honor of Lowcountry resident Sam Lyons in recognition of the positive influence he had on the lives of so many in the Charleston community. As part of the Citadel Leadership Scholarship Program, the purpose of the endowed fund is to support the development of ethical leadership within the Corps by providing an annual scholarship award to an outstanding prospective student. The merit-based scholarship will allow The Citadel to recruit to the Corps young people who have demonstrated qualities of leadership, academic achievement, self-discipline, and service – qualities that will enable them to excel in The Citadel’s unique military environment. Scholarships are renewable provided recipients comply with the selection criteria.
