The DSP Selection Process
The DSP cohort includes 30 of The Citadel’s top students who demonstrate ambition to better themselves and the world around them.
We accept students from all disciplines. Successful candidates will demonstrate academic excellence, an understanding of how the DSP will advance their goals, innate curiosity, and vision for how they will contribute to the greater good.
Students apply through the online portal the summer before or the beginning of their second year at The Citadel. Applications for rising sophomores (students entering The Citadel in Fall 2022) are now open. Candidates will be selected for interviews in October.
Interested students are invited to attend the DSP Open House from 3-5pm on Wednesday, September 6, in the Swain Boating Center on campus.
