universities and colleges that host Army ROTC. After the applications 
are completed, they are submitted to HQ Cadet Command for review, 
screening, and selection of scholarship recipients. If the academic, 
educational and extracurricular background were not collected, a more 
burdensome academic examination would be required to screen to 
voluminous applications for quality recipients.
