The Citadel: The Military College of South Carolina Corps of Cadets Annual Scholarship Book 2020-21 To our donors, prospective cadets, and other members of The Citadel family: The scholarship program at The Citadel is designed to attract outstanding high school graduates to the College, reward undergraduate academic excellence, and help those students who desire financial assistance to complete their college education. Students are considered for scholarships in one of two ways. All incoming freshmen are automatically considered based upon the information provided on their application for admissions. Those received by November 15 are given priority in the awarding process. Returning students are required to complete a scholarship application by March 15th to be considered for scholarship funds for the following academic year. Most freshman scholarship recipients will be notified of their awards by April 30th and upperclass cadets before June 30th. The Scholarship Committee gives all scholarship applicants careful consideration. Many scholarships contain restrictions as stipulated in deeds of trust. The Citadel matches the most qualified candidates to such restrictions. Students are evaluated and ranked objectively on the basis of class standing, grade point ratio, ACT or SAT scores, personal achievement, and leadership potential. Since many scholarships specify “need” as a condition of the award, it is recommended that all applicants complete a confidential Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year by October 1. In addition to scholarships coordinated through The Citadel, many opportunities exist for scholarships outside of The Citadel. Numerous corporations, employers, professional organizations, foundations, local civic organizations, churches, and high schools make scholarships available to Citadel cadets. Students should consult high school counselors, employers, civil leaders, public officials, and local libraries for information on scholarship opportunities. There is also a scholarship search called FASTweb that is linked to The Citadel Financial Aid Office’s web page. This free service matches over 400,000 scholarships listed in its database to biographic information supplied by the user. To all of the donors that make the scholarships available to our students, Thank You. To all of our prospective students, an education that offers Honor, Leadership, and Pride is waiting at the end of the Long Gray Line. Please use this scholarship information to join in.
