JROTC Programs
Junior ROTC programs are available for 9-12 graders. Taylorsville High School has an Army JROTC program, and Granger High School offers an Air Force JROTC program. Olympus students interested in joining one of these programs must provide their own transportation to these high schools.
ROTC Programs
The military offers one, two, and four year scholarships. These scholarships pay for tuition, books and fees at the student’s chosen college or university where there is an ROTC program. Applicants are selected based on grades, SAT or ACT scores, and extracurricular activities. They also give the recipients cash for living expenses at the following rates: freshman $300 per month, sophomores $350 per month, juniors $450 per month and seniors $500 per month.
Military Academies
Students who are interested in attending one of the military academies must complete a fairly complex appointment process beginning in the junior year. Candidates for one of the military academies are nominated to these programs and the sooner you begin, the better your chances are of receiving full consideration. The first step in securing an appointment to one of the academies is to write to one of them and request a Pre-Candidate Questionnaire. By writing you will receive a full packet of information, including dates and deadlines throughout the process. Below are links to the US military academies.
