ROTC is offered at some colleges and is designed as officer training, while students are going to college. Once selected for a ROTC program most likely you will be offered either a full or partial scholarship. The ROTC department at the school you plan to attend will have detailed information about post-college commitments.
The Academies offer students a very prestigious education, one that is filled with rigor and regimentation. The admission process is arduous, but worth it, if this is the route for you.
If you have questions about enrollment or graduation, please visit our Counseling page.
We rely on parent and community volunteers to help Storm students with post graduation plans. Please consider volunteering in the Future Center. All Bend-La Pine Schools volunteers are required to submit a volunteer application and pass a background verification check.
