Mary E. and David C. Swain, Jr., '80 Scholarship

In November 2012, Mary and David Swain announced to The Citadel Foundation their intention to establish the Mary E. and David C. Swain, Jr., ’80, Scholarship. The primary purpose of this endowment is to provide funds to support scholarship awards to a cadet or cadets believed to possess those attributes of ability, character, temperament, and personality that are in accord with the traditionally high standards of The Citadel. The scholarship shall provide awards for a student or students majoring in electrical engineering or computer science. Additionally, first preference will be given to students from Simpsonville, South Carolina. Second preference will be given to students from Greenville County, South Carolina. In years where no students meet the additional first or second preference, the awards will be made based solely on the major areas of study.
