This scholarship fund was established by the late Ronald and Mavis Bell to provide financial aid to students who are enrolled in the AFROTC program at Angelo State University. Preference will be given to cadets who meet the following criteria: the student must be United States Veteran; must be in good academic standing with a 2.75 grade point average; cadets must maintain a 15 hour course load; cadets must demonstrate financial need. If no United States Veteran is eligible, a son or daughter of a United States Veteran may qualify. If no other qualifying United States Veteran or their descendant is eligible, then a cadet who was a JROTC cadet may receive the scholarship. If the cadet maintains a 2.75 or better the scholarship will be retained until the cadet graduates. All of the following scholarships can be applied for by using the Carr Air Force ROTC Scholarship Application plus a current school transcript showing your most recent semesters’ work and two recommendations or evaluations. Other information such as a personal resume, pictures or letters can also be included and is highly recommended as these scholarships are based on a whole person concept.

Approximately 60 AFROTC scholarships up to $1,500 per year are awarded annually to Angelo State University AFROTC students. These awards have been provided by the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert G. Carr of San Angelo to help attract highly qualified students into the AFROTC program and promote academic excellence. All students who are interested in enrolling in the ROTC program are invited to apply for a Carr Air Force ROTC Scholarship which carries no military commitment but allows a student the opportunity to participate in the Air Force officer candidate program.

The R.F. Durso ROTC Scholarship Endowment was established by the Nurre Family to honor the late World War II veteran, Corporal Rocco F. Durso.

At least one scholarship is awarded per year to a highly qualified, full-time Angelo State ROTC cadet with preference given to applicants who graduated from San Angelo Lake View High School and participated in the Lake View Junior ROTC program for a minimum of two years.
