Class of 2001 Scholarship

In September of 2016, the Class of 2001 announced to The Citadel Foundation its intention to establish the Class of 2001 Scholarship with a gift of $50,000. The primary purpose of this endowment is to provide funds to support cadets who possess the attributes of ability, character, temperament, and personality that are in accord with the traditionally high standards of The Citadel. The scholarship will first be awarded to rising sophomores who are United States citizens and demonstrate financial need. Recipients must maintain a 3.2 GPA. If majoring in a STEM discipline, recipients must maintain a 3.0 GPA. Preference will be given to a cadet who participates in two extracurricular activities. 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.
