NOTE: You cannot apply for admission or the scholarship until you complete your junior year of high school.
Indicate the University of North Georgia as one of your college choices on your application. Your application will be submitted to Cadet Command, not 正澳门六合彩开奖结果. Make sure you provide your high school transcript, SAT or ACT scores, and fitness test scores as instructed.
When you apply for the ROTC scholarship, you will create a scholarship account with Army Cadet Command at Ft Knox, Kentucky. You should check your online scholarship account frequently for updates and information.
Schedule an Army ROTC scholarship interview. You are required to do an interview with one school. Contact the nearest college or university that has an Army ROTC program to schedule it. Your interview results will be recorded and made available to 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 and all other schools listed on your scholarship application. To schedule an interview at 正澳门六合彩开奖结果, please e-mail Mr. Killeen at greg.killeen@ung.edu and karen.armstrong@ung.edu. Interviews can be conducted Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., and will take about an hour. If you have a resume already prepared, bring it. If not, Mr. Killeen will get the information he needs through the interview process. Wear clothing appropriate for an interview. Scholarship interviews can be scheduled to be done in conjunction with a personal visit and tour, Cadet Overnight Visitation Experience, or a National Leadership Challenge Weekend.
You must complete the Physical Fitness Assessment. Ask any high school administrator to administer the test and fill out the scorecard. We recommend a coach or JROTC instructor. There are no passing or failing scores. Just do the best you can. For males, your goals should be 50 push-up, 50 curl-ups and a 6:30 mile. For females, your goals should be 40 push-ups, 50 curl-ups, and a 7:18 mile. Ensure that the test administrator’s email is properly listed in your scholarship application. Follow up with the administrator to ensure that they were able to successfully upload your scores. Keep the PFA form for reference until after the scholarship process is complete in May.
After completing steps 3-6, the status of your application should change to "Board Ready". Periodically check your e-mail, mail, and your GO-ARMY scholarship account to ensure you are receiving communications from Cadet Command. Make sure you follow the instructions that you receive in a timely manner. If you are having problems with your application, please contact Mr. Killeen at greg.killeen@ung.edu.Complete Application - "Board Ready"
Wait for the Cadet Command Selection Board Results
Cadet Command will hold selection boards in October, January and March. When your application is considered by the board, your status should change to “Boarded.” Cadet Command will notify applicants who are selected for the scholarship about two weeks after each board by updating their on line application status from "Boarded" to "Offer."
If you were not selected, your status will remain "Boarded." In this case, your application will automatically be considered during the next selection board, and so on.
Applicants who are not selected after the final board, contact Mr. Killeen for additional ROTC scholarship options.
