The Junior Cadet Accessions Program (JCAP) welcomes high school juniors and seniors involved in Junior ROTC, Civil Air Patrol, Young Marines and Sea Cadets to A&M for a first-hand experience with the Corps of Cadets. While at JCAP, students will:
  • Meet current cadets and learn about their experiences in the Corps
  • Stay in the Corps dorms on campus
  • Learn about the university admissions process, financial aid, scholarships and academic support
  • Attend an A&M sporting event – football in the fall or men's basketball in the spring
  • Train with our national drill champions, the Fish Drill Team
  • In the Fall, participate in March-In to Kyle Field before a football game
  • Attend a recognition banquet

Scholarships

All qualified cadets attending JCAP are eligible for a $2,400 scholarship, which carries no military obligation and may be used in conjunction with other scholarships. If a Corps Scholarship is awarded to a student who is not a resident of Texas, the recipient may qualify for in-state tuition.

Dates and Schedule
JCAP is offered once during the fall and spring semesters. Our next program will take place October 29 - 30, 2010.

JCAP costs a nonrefundable $25 per student. To register and learn about attendance requirements, click on the button above and submit the online registration form.

A session specifically for parents is held during the program and parents are invited to join their students at a recognition banquet. Parents will need to arrange their own accommodations.
