Educational Scholarships

The Arizona Chapter provides monetary Educational Scholarships each year for distinguished graduates of the Junior ROTC units sponsored by the Chapter. The schools sponsored are those listed for the MOAA JROTC medals program. With these scholarships we hope to further the education of students who maintain a scholastic position in the upper half of his or her class and demonstrate qualities of leadership, moral character and concern for their fellow man through service to others.

MOAA JROTC Medals Program

The purpose of the MOAA JROTC Medal is to recognize an outstanding cadet who is in his or her next-to-last year in the JROTC program and who has demonstrated exceptional potential for military leadership. The presentation of the MOAA JROTC medal is one way the Arizona Chapter fosters a positive military recognition among the youth of the community. To be eligible for an award, a candidate must:

• Be in the next-to-last year of a JROTC program
• Be in good academic standing
• Demonstrate a high degree of loyalty to the unit, school, and the country
• Demonstrate exceptional potential for military leadership

The individual’s unit commander, who coordinates the selection and presentation with our chapter, selects the award recipient.
