The Citadel’s ROTC detachments presented awards to their finest cadets and active duty students.

Sadie Gomez, a junior at The Citadel, spent nearly a month this past summer at Maxwell Air Force and Patrick Space Force bases learning and training within the military’s most modern branch.

As the Class of 2023 prepares to graduate from The Citadel and step into the real world, the Air Force ROTC is preparing to commission 18 brand new 2nd lieutenants into the Air Force and Space Force. A mix of future pilots, drone controllers, intelligence officers and more will be entering into a commitment of military service for their country.

Top ROTC cadets at The Citadel for 2022-23 were recognized at an awards ceremony on Thursday, April 6.

Incoming ROTC cadets may be offered two supplemental scholarships — The Citadel Service to Country Tuition Scholarship 2027 as well as the National Service Room Scholarship.
