Endowed scholarship funds enable The Citadel to attract and retain the students who best represent the college’s commitment to academic excellence, physical discipline, dedicated military service, and upright moral character.
With colleges across the nation actively recruiting the brightest and most promising students, The Citadel must remain competitive, armed with the resources to ensure that those who have the desire and potential to excel in The Citadel’s disciplined academic environment will have the opportunity to flourish.
The ability to enhance the quality of the applicant pool and to recruit and retain the most talented students regardless of their financial status dramatically improves the overall character and composition of the Corps of Cadets.

Once a scholarship is endowed and awarded, the scholarship contact is invited back to Charleston annually to meet the scholarship recipient(s). These events alternate each year between a formal banquet off campus and a Scholarship Day that features various activities on campus. This event is typically held in late February or early March.
