Robert Stafford Rivers Scholarship

In October of 2008, Dr. Janelle L. Rivers, trustee of the Robert Stafford Rivers Revocable Trust, announced to The Citadel Foundation that proceeds from the above named trust were forthcoming to establish the Robert Stafford Rivers Scholarship fund. The scholarship is named in honor of her cousin, Robert Stafford Rivers, who attended The Citadel for three years prior to receiving an appointment to West Point. The purpose of the endowment is to provide scholarship funds for needy and worthy South Carolina students. The College Scholarship Committee administers the scholarship program at The Citadel. Endowed scholarships will be awarded on a year-to-year basis. Students who are recipients one (1) year are eligible for consideration in any other year; however, they must again comply with the selection criteria.
