Mission

The West Point Graduate Scholarship Program is West Point’s official sponsor for cadets competing for prestigious scholarships such as the Rhodes, Marshall, and Fulbright. The Scholarship Program’s curriculum, mentorship, and outreach enable cadets who demonstrate exceptional service, leadership, and scholarship to reach their potential as thoughtful leaders in the Army and for the nation.

The Scholarship Program offers courses for yearlings (sophomores), cows (juniors), and firsties (seniors). Admission to these courses is competitive.
