Senior, Junior and Sophomore Nominee

The ROCKS, Incorporated is accepting nominations for the 2006-2007 academic year General Roscoe C. Cartwright ROTC Achievement Awards. These awards are presented to outstanding Army or Air Force Cadets or Navy Midshipmen enrolled in the Reserve Officer Training Course (ROTC) at Historically Black Colleges or Universities. The awards are presented annually in memory of Brigadier General Roscoe C. Cartwright. "ROCK," as General Cartwright was affectionately known to his friends and the many who served under him, was a true exemplar of the professional military officer.

The General Roscoe C. Cartwright Scholarship Fund was established in 1974 following the death of General and Mrs. Cartwright in a tragic aircraft accident. The purpose of the scholarship fund is to provide recognition, inspiration and encouragement to students who plan to enter the military service as officers after completing the ROTC program at Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
