Babcock earns ROTC scholarship

Christopher Douglas Babcock has received an Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps college scholarship offer to attend a selected host college or university.

The cadet was selected to receive the scholarship certificate on the basis of comprehensive tests, high school scholastic achievement, and extra-curricular activities. The majority of Air Force ROTC scholarships cover full college/university tuition, provide textbook allowance, and pay most laboratory or incidental fees. In addition, at least a $300 tax-free monthly allowance is paid to recipients during the academic year. The estimated value of the scholarship depends on the student’s choice of school and type of scholarship offered.

Upon graduation from college and completion of the ROTC program, the cadet will receive a bachelor’s degree and a commission of second lieutenant in the Air Force.

The student plans to attend Indiana University at Bloomington, in the fall.

He is the son of Douglas J. Babcock and Patricia Babcock, both of Logansport.
