What are some military scholarships for high school students?

Hi all, I'm a high school junior considering a military career. I was wondering, are there military scholarships available for high school students like us? Could you please drop some names or sources? Really appreciate your help!

Absolutely, there are several scholarships tied to military service for high school students. Here are a few:

1. ROTC Scholarships: Both the Army and Navy, including the Marine Corps, offer ROTC scholarships to high school students. They cover the cost of tuition and include a stipend for books and living expenses. The Air Force also has a similar program.

2. U.S. Military Academy Scholarships: If you're considering attending one of the five U.S. military academies (West Point, Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, Coast Guard Academy, Merchant Marine Academy), it's worth noting that they all provide a fully funded education in return for a certain number of years of active duty service after graduation.

3. AFCEA Educational Foundation Scholarships: These scholarships are open to students pursuing a career in the military and studying in fields such as cyber security, intelligence, and information technology.

4. AMVETS National Scholarship Program: This program provides scholarships specifically for Veterans/Active Military, their sons, daughters or grandchildren as well as to the spouses of Veterans/Active Military.

5. Army Nurse Corps Association (ANCA) Scholarship: ANCA offers scholarships to students attending a baccalaureate or graduate nursing or anesthesia student program.

Remember, military scholarships often come with a service commitment, so be sure you're ready to commit to that path before accepting the scholarship. It's a serious commitment but it can also be a stepping stone to a rewarding career. If you're unsure, speaking with a current service member or veteran can provide useful insight.
