Ok, Mom79Texas I can give you what you are asking for. I live right outside Fort Knox where Cadet Command is located and have several friends that work there and sit on the boards. They have active duty and civilian personnel that go over every application. Every year there are individuals with a 19 ACT score that get awarded a scholarship. There are several factors for this and this is how they get the OML list (Order of Merit List by points). It is based on academic, leadership, PMS interview (interview the a Professor of Military Science), Essay, letters of recommendation, volunteering, etc. that they use for total points on an application. So if you have young men and women who are interested but struggle with academics inform them that it is only a small part of the point system used for the OML and they can still get the scholarship if they are active with school activities and their community. Don't take the advice the other individuals give you as a negative most questions here are answered with more information than requested due to this community wanting to be as helpful as possible and from other posts that they have read.
