For 65 years, S.C. State University’s Army ROTC Program has developed leaders who have served the nation in the military, private and public sectors. The motto, “Developing Tomorrow’s Leaders Today,” serves as a driving force to mold, shape and guide cadets to strive to be the best they can be academically, personally and professionally.
During a ceremony on March 31 at Fort Belvoir, Va., three S.C. State Army ROTC cadets — Clifton Parker, senior business marketing major; Harrison T. Goins, sophomore, mechanical engineering major; and Adrianne V. Scott, freshmen social work major — were awarded The Rocks Inc. Brig Gen. Roscoe C. Cartwright Leadership Scholarship. Each received a stipend of $1,000.
The Rocks Inc. is a nonprofit mentorship organization comprised of active, reserve, retired and former commissioned officers and warrant officers of the U.S. Armed Forces. Named in honor of Brig. Gen. Roscoe C. Cartwright and his wife, Gloria, the purpose of the scholarship is to provide recognition, inspiration and encouragement to students who plan to enter military service as officers after completing the Army ROTC Program.
Annually, The Rocks Inc. recognizes college ROTC cadets for academic achievement and demonstrated leadership qualities. The cadets must attend one of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and be nominated by their professor of military science.
