Many students hope to combine a career in the private sector with
service as an Officer in the Reserve Components. For these
individuals, the Guaranteed Reserve Forces Duty Scholarship presents an
ideal opportunity. If selected for one of these scholarships, students
will be guaranteed placement into the Reserve Components upon becoming a
lieutenant. In that way they can serve the nation as an Army Officer,
while pursuing employment opportunities in the private sector of the
economy.
