Hello ,
Thank you for allowing us to share information on our "Build a Better Future" scholarship program! We are offering another five $10,000 scholarships again this year and we want to make sure your students know about it.
This is a great opportunity since in recent years it has been very much underutilized. We were getting hundreds of submissions a few years ago, last year we had fewer than 50, that's a great opportunity for your students!
Click here for the details and anything else you may need to know to tell your students about our scholarship. If you can, it would be great to put this link on your website somewhere prominent and/or easy to access for both seniors and for their parents so they can find the scholarship information before the deadlines. Some schools have put the link in a dropdown from the main menu or homepage and that seems to work best.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Allie

The Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps is a multi-year program that runs concurrently with a student’s normal college or university educational course of study. In addition to a normal academic workload leading to a Bachelor’s degree, NROTC students attend classes in Naval Science, participate in unit drill and physical training, and other activities. Students are also taught the leadership principles and high ideals of a military officer. During the summer break between school years, NROTC students participate in a variety of training courses. These periods of instruction help students understand different career options, as well as familiarize them with a military life. Upon graduation students are commissioned as second lieutenants in the Marine Corps. |
