CMP Expands Scholarship Offerings to Graduating High School Seniors for the 2011-2012 Scholastic Year
By Steve Cooper, CMP Writer
|
CAMP PERRY, OHIO - The Civilian Marksmanship Program is pleased to announce it has expanded the eligibility for its $1,000 annual college scholarship program to all graduating high school seniors who participate in rifle or pistol marksmanship competitions.
Previously, CMP scholarship awards were available only to those in or accepted into a ROTC program or to graduating JROTC cadets who had qualified to compete at the JROTC Service Championships. The CMP Scholarship Program no longer requires a relationship with an ROTC program. There are no changes in the program which affect graduating JROTC Service Championship qualifiers.
The revised scholarship program provides a non-renewable one year scholarship for graduating seniors only – and is available to all graduating seniors who participate in rifle or pistol marksmanship competitions.
One half of the total allocation is set aside specifically for graduating JROTC seniors who qualified to compete at the CMP JROTC Service Championships.
"We are truly excited that the CMP Board of Directors has extended our scholarship opportunities to the many qualified graduating seniors who participate in marksmanship competitions outside of JROTC programs," said Christie Sewell, CMP North General Manager.
"The CMP has extended this scholarship offer to the many deserving college-bound high school senior rifle or pistol competitors who have helped our programs thrive. Of course, our support of the JROTC Cadet Commands remains unwavering," Sewell said.
The CMP offers a total of 150 $1,000 scholarships to qualified graduating seniors active in marksmanship programs."
Members of high school shooting programs, 4-H shooting programs, American Legion, Boy Scouts, CMP-affiliated club competitors and others are now invited to apply for college scholarship assistance.
Eligibility requirements for CMP scholarships:
• Be a U.S. Citizen.
• Be of good moral character.
• Have achieved a minimum 2.5 cumulative grade point average.
• Be a graduating high school senior
• Demonstrate acceptance to a university, college or trade school leading to a diploma or trade certification.
• Qualified for CMP JROTC Service Championships
OR
• Demonstrate rifle or pistol marksmanship competition experience.
