Texas Armed Services Scholarship Program
What exactly is a campus scholarship? Because my PMS had me write and sign a letter saying I wanted a 4 year Army ROTC scholarship and then use that scholarship at A&M.
PapaBear, if you are in Texas, you probably received a "Texas Armed Services Scholarship". My daughter received one earlier this week.

"The Texas Armed Services Scholarship has been created to assist promising students from throughout the state who are committed to education and service. It encourages young leaders to participate in the Texas Guard, Army National Guard, or Air National Guard, or to become commissioned officers in the United States armed services."

To receive the scholarship, a student must:
• Be appointed by a state representative or state senator or by the Governor or Lieutenant Governor. (Each member of the Legislature may make one appointment to receive one of the first scholarships. The Governor and Lt. Governor may make two appointments.)
• Enroll in an eligible Texas institution and an eligible ROTC program.
• Commit in writing to:
- Remain in ROTC for four years.
