ROTC Scholarships

The Cape Fear Chapter scholarship program is an important part of our commitment to the future of our military. Our goal is to give deserving ROTC cadets the opportunity to work toward a military career as a commissioned officer. Funds are raised primarily by an annual golf tournament, plus donations from chapter members and commercial sponsors.

The chapter awards an average of seven $1,000 scholarships each year. Four scholarships are normally allocated to senior ROTC applicants and three to junior ROTC applicants. Changes to the number and amounts of scholarships to be awarded may be made based on number of applicants and funds available from year to year.

Applicants from the senior ROTC units must be enrolled in ROTC programs of the universities the chapter supports. An exception to this is that children and/or grandchildren of chapter members in good standing enrolled in a senior ROTC program in any accredited college or university in the United States are also eligible to apply. For more information, see CFC Policy Memo 15-1 in the Documents tab of this website.

Annual Fund Raising Golf Tournament

An annual golf tournament usually held in the fall and played on one of the local golf courses is the main fund raising event for the ROTC Scholarships Awards Program and philonthropic programs in support of our active military and their families at Fort Bragg and veterans in surrounding communities. Donations are made by chapter members and local commercial enterprises in form of golf hole sponsorships and/or active-duty soldier-player sponsorships. Chapter members who cannot play for whatever reason, may sponsor an active-duty service member to play in their stead by paying their entry fee. This is a very popular feature with our chapter members as they can treat active-duty service members to a fun day of golf, all they can eat and drink, and great camaraderie as a way of thanking them for their service.

ROTC Leadership Awards

The Cape Fear Chapter supports 25 junior ROTC and 5 senior ROTC units (click open the Download bar to view).

Each spring the Military Officers Association of America awards leadership medals to a cadet at each of our 25 junior ROTC units, and when requested by the PMS to senior ROTC cadets.

The award recipient from each unit is selected by the senior military instructor at each high school and the PMS at the universities. The criteria is spelled out in CFC Policy Memo 15-2.

The cadets receive a medal to be worn above their left breast pocket and a certificate recognizing their accomplishment.

Formal presentation of these awards is made by an officer or representative of the Cape Fear Chapter whenever possible.

The award is the most prestigious award the Chapter can bestow upon one of its members.

Outstanding service is defined as: A significant and extraordinary achievement in support of the chapter during the calendar year for which considered, or sustained meritorious and extraordinary service to the chapter over a period of time.
