This annual five hundred ($500) scholarship will be presented
to a Catholic Cadet who ranks highest in the evaluation process for all graduating ROTC Corps seniors each spring. The award will rotate among the various branches of U.S. Arm Forces. The award is for the newly commissioned officer to help purchase a full dress uniform.  Our Assembly #2041 fulfilled its patriotic commitment to a selected Catholic group of ROTC graduates who will defend with pride our national policies both foreign and domestic.
