Private or outside scholarships
Numerous corporations, employers, professional organizations,
foundations, local civic organizations, churches, and high schools
make scholarships available to Citadel students. However, finding outside

If you are interested in these types of scholarships,
consult with your high school counselor, employer, or civic leaders
and use the local library to locate information on organizations that
offer scholarships.

employment. Additional information is available through the Department
of Vocational Rehabilitation in your home state.

Veterans Services:
Veterans Services are
administered by the Financial Aid Office and are intended to assist students
receiving benefits under Chapter 35 (Dependents), Chapter 32 (VEAP), the
old GI Bill (Chapter 34), the new Montgomery GI Bill (Chapter 30), Chapter
31 (Vocational Rehabilitation), and Chapter 106 which deals with reservists
from all branches of the service. Veterans who think that they may have
an entitlement, should check with their local VA Office, the Regional
Office in Columbia (1-800-827-1000), or the VA
Coordinator at The Citadel.
You should contact the VA Coordinator in the Financial
Aid Office well in advance of your anticipated admission date so that
the necessary paperwork can be filed with the VA. All veterans and dependents
receiving VA Educational Benefits are required to come to the Financial
Aid Office each semester to complete a class schedule card. Any changes
in your course of study should be cleared with the VA Coordinator to insure
the continuation of benefits. Any reduction in course load should be reported
immediately to avoid overpayment. Transfer students are reminded that
the office must have copies of all transcript evaluations made by the
Registrar before certification
can be made to the Veterans Administration for payment.
