Below are the deadlines for the scholarship:
Ideally you want to meet one of these scholarship boards to be eligible for the scholarship. To be competitive, the following is recommended:
- 1200 SAT or 27 ACT
- Clubs, Sports, and other Organizations (Leadership Positions are Bonus)
- 3.5 GPA Unweighted preferred
Completing the application is important to be eligible for campus based scholarships if you do not receive a national scholarship. The University of Nevada, Reno Army ROTC program will extend opportunities for campus based scholarships to anyone who completed the National Scholarship Application and did not receive a National Scholarship but put UNR as one of their choices. The UNR Campus Scholarship Board is much looser on its selection process. There is no guaranteed you will receive a scholarship, however there is a guarantee you won’t receive won’t if you don’t apply. Last year we gave 7 scholarships to those not selected for the national scholarship.
