The Tennessee Valley Chapter has sponsored three $400.00 scholarships to recognize the outstanding graduating Air Force Junior ROTC cadet for the units at Butler, Bob Jones and Huntsville High Schools. The chapter wishes to recognize those cadets who have shown the most impressive scholastic achievement, outstanding leadership and exceptional support of their school’s AFJROTC program.
