The application window is June 15th after your high school junior year until January 10th of your high school senior year.
The three year scholarship is awarded to students who have already completed one year of college. Selection is based on performance in academic studies and military science (if already enrolled in ROTC), successfully passing the Army Physical Readiness Test, a personal interview and observation by the PMS, and on demonstrated motivation towards an Army career.
