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

The United States Armed Forces now have more than 180 new officers.

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.

“The Citadel packs a powerful punch.” Many ROTC graduates enter the Army, Air Force, Space Force, Navy and Marine Corps every year.

Nearly 125 awards were presented when the recipients were honored as a group on Thursday, April 7 in McAlister Field House.

Our goal is to clear some financial hurdles for our Class of 2026 ROTC Scholarship cadets, so they can get to work and focus on being officer-ready at graduation.

“Aim high and go big are the hallmarks of The Citadel Distinguished Scholars Program.”
