UNO Cadet Completes Army ROTC Leaders Course

UNO student Gregory Utter recently completed a U.S. Army ROTC Leaders Training Course in Fort Knox, Ky. By attending the course, Utter has now earned an automatic two-year fully funded scholarship.
“This is a great accomplishment for Cadet Utter,” said Major Dennis Murphy, who leads the Creighton University Military Science Program. The program has a partnership agreement which allows UNO students to get their degree through UNO and participate in Army ROTC at Creighton. “The course attracts people from around the nation. We are happy that we were represented.”
The Leaders Training Course takes place over four weeks and cadets learn about leadership and personal development. In addition to the scholarship, completing the course allows ROTC students the opportunity to get automatic credit for their first two years in their campus programs.

Two-, three- and four-year full ride scholarship are available.
