Major General John S. Grinalds Citadel Leadership Scholarship

The Major General John S. Grinalds Citadel Leadership Scholarship was initiated in August 2005 by alumni, friends, and family as part of the Grinalds Tribute Campaign in recognition of the 18th President of The Citadel and his accomplishments during his eight-year tenure at The Military College of South Carolina. As part of the Citadel Leadership Scholarship Program, the purpose of the fund is to continue the Grinalds legacy of focusing on the development of ethical leadership within the Corps by providing an annual award to an outstanding prospective student. These merit-based scholarships 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.
