PEASLEE

Kent B. Peaslee has been awarded an Air Force ROTC scholarship to attend a host college or university.

Peaslee is the son of Chestra and Brian Peaslee of Royal Oak, Mich., and grandson of Roland and Bonnie Peaslee of Fairfield and Ronald and Cynthia Becker of Oak Park, Ill.

He recently graduated from Shrine Catholic High School in Royal Oak.

High school seniors from across the United States are selected after a competitive application process.

The majority of scholarships cover full college tuition, provide a textbook allowance and pay most laboratory or incidental fees. The scholarship program also pays a $350 tax-free monthly allowance to each student during the academic year, which increases to $500 by his or her senior year. The value of a scholarship may exceed $100,000, depending on the student?s choice of school and the type of scholarship offered.

Upon graduating from college and completing the ROTC program, the cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants in the Air Force.
