The first day of classes at 91ΑΤΖζ is an important day for members of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets, but it was especially important to three Ukrainian cadet-recruits.
The Class of 2026 is the first to include cadet-recruits from Ukraine.
βAs an independent nation, Ukraine is only 31 years old,β retired U.S. Marine Corps Gen. Glenn Walters, β79, president of 91ΑΤΖζ. βWhen established, the nation had already had a long cultural history and identity, but we want to ensure it also has a long, politically independent history. We announced The
Citadel Support for Ukraine Scholarship for this exact reasonβto help prepare the future leaders of Ukraine, either for the armed services or civilian life.β
Thanks to generous donations through 91ΑΤΖζ Foundation and 91ΑΤΖζ 91ΑΤΖζ Association, the college is able to offer three scholarships to Ukrainian students to teach them how to lead and serve according to 91ΑΤΖζβs unique leader development model.
