CU-Lock Haven Army ROTC cadet Christian Good awarded Gillin Scholarship

Lock Haven University Army ROTC cadet Christian Good recently participated in the annual Special Forces Association Master Sgt. Kenneth C. Gillin Scholarship board event hosted by the Special Forces Association (SFA) Chapter 67 Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) in Johnstown.

Good, a physician assistant major from Muncy, placed first against cadets from Penn State, Clarion, Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania College of Technology and Indiana University of Pennsylvania, winning $3,000 for the fall 2022 semester.

Each cadet had to answer questions from a panel about topics from land navigation and tactical combat casualty care to questions on about the government and Army regulations.

Second place went to Cadet Adam Roe from Penn College, who won $2,000. Both Good and Roe are members of the Bald Eagle Battalion, which is comprised of members from LHU, Penn College, Mansfield University and Lycoming College.

"I am beyond proud of our cadets that finished first and second place in this prestigious scholarship opportunity from the veterans at SFA Chapter 67 VFW," said Lt. Col. John "Chris" Acosta. "Cadet Good is a fantastic example of what it means to be an ROTC cadet and future Army officer. His commitment to training and preparation for this event literally paid off."
