William Maxton "Max" Craig, '11, Scholarship

In March of 2015, Mr. and Mrs. Craig announced to The Citadel Foundation their intention to establish the William Maxton “Max” Craig, ’11, Scholarship. In establishing this scholarship, Mr. and Mrs. Craig intend to memorialize their son, William Maxton “Max” Craig, The Citadel Class of 2011. Born and raised in Gaston County, North Carolina, Max earned a degree in Business Administration and Management at The Citadel where he was a proud member of Romeo Company. After graduation, Max was a manufacturing manager with American & Efird and was the fifth generation of his family to work in the textile industry in Gaston County. It was a source of pride for Max to work for a company that successfully manufactured products in this country. In his spare time Max loved to hunt and fish with his friends. Max passed away in January of 2015 at the age of 25. The primary purpose of this endowment is to provide academic scholarship funds to support a cadet or cadets who have demonstrated financial need.
