How is JROTC similar to ROTC?
Does completing any academic year of SFJROTC help with college.
If you are wondering how the JROTC is similar and/or different to ROTC then look no further than right here. For starters, in the JROTC program the Cadet Guardians that are enrolled in the units are only high school students, seeing as this program is only accessible to freshman and above in most schools with a JROTC unit. However t
Yes, completing an academic year of SFJROTC helps with college. When a Cadet Guardian completes two academic years of SFJROTC they will be awarded the Certificate of Training as well as a year worth of SFJROTC college level credit. This is the same for Cadet Guardians who complete three academic years as well, but for those who fully complete the SFJROTC program are constantly sought after by all five service academies at a rate of 95% opposed to those who don't complete the program. Cadet Guardians who fully complete the SFJROTC program are also offered up to and including full ride scholarships by colleges and universities that host Senior ROTC programs.
