Harold W. Askins, Jr., '61, Electrical Engineering Scholarship

In September of 2018, Harold “Hank” W. Askins, III, along with his sister, Mary A. Schweers, and their mother, Gloria A. Askins, announced to The Citadel Foundation their family’s intention to establish the Harold W. Askins, Jr., ’61, Electrical Engineering Scholarship. With the establishment of this scholarship, the Askins family intends to honor Dr. Harold W. Askins, Jr., The Citadel Class of 1961, and Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Computer Engineering for his many years of service to his college. The primary purpose of these funds is to provide scholarship awards to support a student or students believed to possess those attributes of ability, character, temperament, and personality that are in accord with the traditionally high standards of The Citadel. First preference is for juniors or seniors majoring in Electrical Engineering.
