The Commander of the Naval Service Training Command has announced the essay topic for the annual Joseph C. Gilliam Academic Award sponsored by the Admiral Senn Foundation. The award is presented in honor of Captain Joseph C. Gilliam, an early supporter of the Navy's JROTC program. This year's topic is "The Navy JROTC has helped me develop a clear understanding of the necessity of good citizenship." Submissions should provide personal examples of growth through the experiences provided by participation in the NJROTC program. Essays must be 500 to 750 words, typed, grammatically correct, and free of format errors.
The award is open to seniors in good standing with overall grade point averages equivalent to 3.5 or better. Note that while there is an essay requirement, the award itself is based on overall academic standing and is strongly dependent on the SNSI's recommendation. One winner will be selected from amongst all the entries received at Area Four and a prize of $1,000.00 (before taxes--welcome to the real world!) will be awarded.
Essays should be submitted to the SNSI for consideration not later than Friday, 21 January 2011. Early inputs are encouraged.
