A vital part of the program is the concept of providing our Veterans a platform to engage with our younger generation and showing them the value of service to our country and each other.

The Scholarship provides funds to an individual within a Veteran family who is enrolled in a ROTC program while attending a High School or Higher Education Institution in the United States.
