Cadet Sponsorship Program

WELCOME TO THE CADET SPONSOR PROGRAM.

We appreciate your interest in taking part in the Cadet Sponsor Program. Our program is intended to improve cadets’ quality of life by providing our international and out-of-state cadets a means to connect with vetted, local, volunteer families that will provide them with a place to go to during times of general leave maybe furlough.  Sponsors provide a “home away from home” for our international and out-of-state cadets.  Most of the cadets requesting sponsors will be first year cadets (freshmen) but international students from all classes may also request sponsors.  Those cadets who live the greatest distance from The Citadel are given priority. Cadets with unique challenges may be considered to take part in the program.

LOCALS INTERESTED IN SPONSORING

Thank you for your interest in potentially sponsoring cadets.  As a sponsor you are “adopting” cadets and coaching them through their Citadel career.  This is an opportunity to give back to a young person far from home, introduce them to Charleston and teach them about life. Please read the *Application Instructions thoroughly and complete each section in the space provided.  This application will be evaluated for the current academic year.  Sponsors must be at least 35 years old and live within the tri-county area to be considered. 

CADETS INTERESTED IN SPONSORSHIP

As a cadet at The Citadel, you are provided with the unique opportunity to be pared with a local sponsor.  Sponsors are those in the Charleston area who voluntarily open their homes to provide a ‘home away from home’ for International or out of state cadets during their years at The Citadel.  Please read the *Cadet Requirements & Instructions thoroughly. Sponsors provide the necessary understanding & encouragement to cadets.  Sponsors are also given the opportunity to learn more about cadet’s lives on campus.
