Tye Family Scholarship

In August of 2015, Chris and Marc Tye announced to The Citadel Foundation their intention to establish the Tye Family Scholarship. As Citadel graduates, Chris and Marc Tye understand the importance of higher education, particularly a degree with a technical component such as engineering. The Tyes were fortunate enough to receive scholarships while studying at The Citadel and would like to make a Citadel education possible for those who deserve to be in college but may struggle with the costs associated with obtaining a college degree. The primary purpose of this endowment is to provide funds to support a cadet or cadets who are in their senior year, studying a STEM major, and have financial need. In years in which no student meets the above criteria, the scholarship may be awarded to a cadet studying other disciplines who needs financial assistance to complete his or her education at The Citadel.
