The University of Guam Army ROTC Triton Warrior Battalion last Friday celebrated the achievements of its cadets with an award ceremony, welcoming the 11 newest contractees and awarding nearly $331,000 in scholarship money to several cadets.

Cadets Zachary Aquino, Justin Cabrera, Lowella Di Ramos, Julio Gomez, Flora Jean Jordan, Charles Leong, Jerome Long, Jeralyn San Nicolas, Elijah Solang, Kelvin Topasna, and Richard Valerio Jr. were all contracted on Sept. 9.

Among them, six were awarded the National Scholarship worth $10,300 per year, which are awarded to cadets at each ROTC battalion nationwide. The scholarships are managed through the United States Army Cadet Command.

Cadets Zachary Aquino, Daryl Manlangit, Arthur Nedlic, Kamuala Rhoads, Allen Sizemore, and Steven John Stovall were awarded the Henry Ofeciar Army Scholarship worth $9,500 per year.

Other Awards and Recognitions

Nearly 30 UOG Triton Warriors traveled to Fort Knox, Kentucky over the summer to complete either Cadet Initial Entry Training or the Cadet Leadership Course.

Six other cadets completed the Cultural Understanding and Language Proficiency Program, which takes cadets to places like Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Montenegro, and Mozambique to work and train with the militaries of those countries while gaining knowledge of their culture.

Below is a list of all awards, scholarship recipients and recognitions during the 2016 Fall Semester:
