Giving
The Army ROTC program transforms young adults into top leaders in the military, industry and community. None of this would be possible without philanthropic support from our alumni and friends, and there are multiple ways you can give. Your support enables experiences that allow cadets to stretch themselves, growth and thrive.
Areas of support
Discretionary fund
The Alumni and Friends of ROTC Cadet Fund provides broad support to the ROTC program and its cadets in a number of ways.
- Clubs: Bronco Battalion Run Club, Cannon Crew, Color Guard, Ruck Club and Western Ranger Organization (WRO).
- Equipment: branded polo shirts, challenge coins, promotional items and rappel operations.
- Events: Military Ball, Branch Reveal Night, Summer Leadership Camp and more.
- Additional scholarships.
Scholarships
Scholarships are available through the U.S. Army and WMU, but sometimes there are still gaps. To ensure that every cadet is able to give full attention to their education and career plans, we offer scholarship support. Funds that may be added to include:
- Captain Drew Russell Endowed Memorial Scholarship
- Colonel Richard A. Sperling Distinguished Service Cross Endowed Scholarship
- Herbert W. Kenz Army ROTC Cadet Scholarship
You can also make your gift via check payable to the WMU Foundation and be sure to write in the memo section which fund you would like to give to. Mail your check to:
