Minuteman Scholarship Helps Students Pay for College

Cadet Tyler Mertes is an United States Army Reserve Cadet that competed and earned a 4-year Army ROTC scholarship while in high school. We can’t believe that he will be graduating this December 2022! For those students interested in serving in the military, while in college and want the best leadership training in the United States, please contact us to learn about the scholarship process.

With the cost of a four-year degree at a university or college continually rising, now might be a good time to consider applying for a Minuteman Guaranteed Reserve Forces Duty scholarship. Five different scholarships of various lengths are offered, from two-year to four-year options.

On 22 April, we had the privilege of hosting Dr. Heidi Bostic, Dean of Marquette's College of Arts and Sciences, COL (Ret.) James Kohlmann, Missile Defense Command and GEB Alumni, and Bill Kraus, Co-Founder of Mission BBQ and MU Alumni for a Leader Symposium at Marquette's Varsity Theatre. Each speaker took questions from both JROTC & ROTC Cadets and others from the Milwaukee area.

We are grateful for the insightful leadership experience that each speaker shared with us. Each of them come from a different path and have truly been able to distinguish themselves in their respective field.

Shoutout to CDT Coppernoll for organizing the event!
