The 1842 Scholarship Program engages students while building the skills necessary to succeed at The Citadel and in life.

The next four years will include the most challenging but rewarding experiences you can undergo, but the 1842 Scholars are here to help you throughout your time here. We hope you are ready for the challenge”
