We ask you to encourage your top cadets to compete for one of our two awards/scholarships, LTG Edward Honor Leadership Award and the BG Roscoe Cartwright Award. The purpose of the ROCKS, Inc.

Each year the National Board of ROCKS, Inc. holds an annual scholarship board; identifies quality Army ROTC cadets who have been nominated by their Professor of Military of Science; and awards scholarships to deserving cadets who display high caliber leadership attributes and extraordinary character.
The details for the submission of the application packets are contained in the attachments. Your personal letter of recommendation is a very important factor in our decision. Our scholarship board asks that you provide your personal touch to this document. Each application packet will include the following:
The completed application:
