Hi folks! I'm really interested in Citadel Military College, but I'm on a tight budget. Anyone know about any scholarships they offer specifically for military students or any other types of financial aid? Thanks in advance!
Hello! Citadel Military College offers various financial aid opportunities, including grants, loans, and scholarships. As a student with military interests, there are quite a few scholarships you could be eligible for.
One key scholarship is the Citadel Scholar Program, which provides four-year, fully funded scholarships, which includes tuition, fees, and room and board. It's highly competitive and awarded to the top incoming freshman students.
Additionally, The Citadel Foundation Scholarship is offered to incoming freshmen who demonstrate financial need and academic achievement. The amount varies annually based on available funding.
For military affiliated students, the college has The Citadel Military Family Endowed Scholarship which is given to dependents of Citadel graduates, active duty military, retired military, and veterans.
The Citadel also participates in the Federal Military Tuition Assistance Program, which provides financial assistance to active duty military students.
Remember, you can apply for external scholarships as well and utilize them together with the school’s offerings. Additionally, don't forget to complete your FAFSA early to open up potential federal and state-based aid. This could provide you with additional grant, loan, or work-study options.
Hope this provides you with a good starting point. Best of luck with your financial aid journey at the Citadel!
