Welcome to The Citadel Family Association (CFA)
From Matriculation Day onward, you are automatically part of The Citadel Family Association—a supportive network that’s just a click, call or email away. As your son or daughter takes on the unique challenge of a Citadel education, the CFA is here to support you every step of the way.
Our network is made up of parent volunteers whose cadets are currently in upper classes. They’re ready to answer questions, offer guidance and help you navigate this journey. This website and our CFA Facebook pages are regularly updated with information directly from The Citadel, making them valuable and reliable sources for families.
Our Mission
Since 1993, the Citadel Family Association has remained dedicated to three primary goals:
- To provide information to, and support for, the families of current cadets
- To provide families with a forum for discussion of common interests
- To support college initiatives.
