CMP JROTC Scholarship Program & U. S. Army Junior Open Air Rifle State Championship Postal Competition
Posted by Junior Shooters
The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) just came out with two new announcements important to juniors and their families.
The U. S. Army Junior Open Air Rifle Championship is now taking entries for the 2009-2010 State Championship postal competition. This Championship is sponsored by the Army Marksmanship Unit and is open to all junior shooting organizations that have school-age juniors as members or enrollees (high school seniors or below). Participation by as many junior teams, clubs, 4-H clubs, JROTC units or other organizations around the country is encouraged.
New CMP JROTC Scholarship Program. The CMP Board of Directors recently expanded and modified the CMP Scholarship Program to give additional opportunities for JROTC cadets to earn scholarships to aid them with their post-secondary educations. The traditional CMP ROTC Scholarship Program has awarded up to 100 one-thousand dollar scholarships to students who excel in rifle marksmanship and enroll in ROTC in college. The total number of one-thousand dollar scholarships to be awarded by the CMP for the 2010-2011 academic year will be increased to 150, with 75 allocated for the traditional ROTC college program and 75 allocated specifically for JROTC cadets who qualify with their teams or as at-large individuals to participate in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force Service Championships that are scheduled to take place at Camp Perry, Ohio in February 2010. This will give added incentive to JROTC units and cadets to participate in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force Postal that must be entered before 20 November 2009 and fired by 4 December 2009. Unlike the ROTC scholarships, the 75 new JROTC scholarships can be used to pay educational expenses for any accredited post-secondary program. Additional information, official regulations and application forms will be available in the next few weeks.
