Cadets to Vets Future Leaders Scholarship
Cadets to Vets believes in the power of education to shape future leaders and make a tangible impact on the world.
The JROTC is filled with young men and women who will go the distance to pursue their dreams and become influential leaders in their communities and beyond. Exemplifying selflessness, determination, and passion, these students are on the journey to make a difference and achieve all of their goals.
This scholarship seeks to support cadets who are committed to excelling in their military careers and contributing to the success of the United States Armed Forces.
Any high school senior in New York who is a JROTC member may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they have non-profit or volunteering experience.
