The Citadel African American Alumni Scholarship

The primary purpose of The Citadel African American Alumni Scholarship is to provide academic scholarship funds to support a minority cadet or cadets who have demonstrated financial need. First preference is for African American students; however, in the absence of a qualified African American student, consideration will be given to any eligible minority student. The scholarship is not available to students majoring in a STEM-related field (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). The college’s office of Financial Aid and Scholarships 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 subsequent years; however, they must again comply with the selection criteria.
