Incoming Highty-Tighties are awarded $500 each semester of their first two years in the band.

All incoming cadets, including Highty-Tighties, automatically receive a  Corps Named Scholarship. This is in addition to the Highty-Tighty scholarship, and both can be applied toward the total cost of attendance. Cadets must have a FASFA on file to received these monies.

These scholarships are proof of the lasting value of your experience as a cadet and as a Highty-Tighty because they are funded by our donors and alumni, who also mentor each incoming Highty-Tighties.

The best and longest-lasting benefit of being a Highty-Tighty are the friendships you establish from your first day in the Corps of Cadets.
