Erik J. Schrump, '85, Memorial Scholarship

In September of 2013, Mrs. Myra Schrump, representing the Schrump family, announced to The Citadel Foundation their intention to establish the Erik J. Schrump, ‘85, Memorial Scholarship. In grateful recognition for the experiences and advantages his Citadel education afforded him, Erik’s wish was that a scholarship be set up to “pay it forward” to other deserving students who, without scholarship aid, would not be able to attend The Citadel. The primary purpose of this endowment is to provide funds to support a cadet (or cadets) who would be unable to attend The Citadel or complete his or her education due to financial need. First preference is for a Schrump family relative; second preference is for cadets from Connecticut. In years where no candidates meet the first two preferences, third preference is for cadets from the New England states including: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
