• The Air Force ROTC High School Scholarship Program opens on July 1, 2021. The application can be found here and students are encouraged to apply as soon as the application opens. 
• When students create their application accounts, there will be contact information for a WINGS technician according to their last name listed within the application directions. Encourage them to contact this individual with application questions for the time being!

• If you have general or specific questions regarding the Air Force and/or Air Force ROTC program prior to the entrance. I would encourage you to utilize the contact form on the Air Force ROTC website, or alternatively, contact their closest Air Force ROTC detachment. 

• Please note, detachment staff may be limited during the summer months, as many are currently helping with summer training. Delays in email communication are to be expected. 

For students who haven’t yet to apply, there is still time to submit a College of Idaho application.  You can complete our application (there’s no fee) or fill out the Common Application.

If you have any questions, you can always reach out to our College of Idaho Admission Counselor.

It's important to note that Whitworth University's intention is to resume normal operations for the 2021 Fall Term, including unrestricted occupancy in campus residence halls and a full array of in-person classes and co-curricular experiences. These are important and valuable aspects of a Whitworth education of mind and heart, and ones we demonstrated this year that we can do safely.

If students/families are looking for more information before they apply, they're encouraged to join us for an in-person or virtual visit event. Learn more at whitworth.edu/visit. Or, they can always reach out to our team with questions at admissions@whitworth.edu.

Educators Workshop Brochure

EWS Application SY2021

The purpose of the Educator's Workshop (EWS) is to educate, mentor, and provide educators the opportunity to explore the path young men and women take to earn the title of United States Marine.

    EWS is a 5 day workshop in San Diego, California taking place this year from July 26-30. Lodging, meals, and transportation are all provided by the Marine Corps. EWS is comprised of an overview of martial arts training that Marines undergo, a Marine Corps Band performance, Marine Corps history lessons, educational opportunities for Marines, an overview of the recruit training obstacle courses, and much more. Participants in this workshop also have the opportunity to meet new Marines who have recently completed recruit training.

    Please see the attached 2021 Educators Workshop Brochure. I have also attached the 2019 Cruise Book that depicts examples of events that take place at the EWS.

    Lastly, I have attached the 2021 EWS application for any and all those FNSBSD Colony High School staff members that would like to attend.

These applications are due April 16th.
