    Jordyn Hoit, an ROTC cadet from Escondido, California, has been significantly impacted by the U.S. Army Reserve's Minuteman Scholarship, which she received during a high school football game in her hometown. The scholarship has enabled her to attend Hofstra University, where she is majoring in criminology, while also committing to serve as a commissioned officer in the Army Reserve. Her journey, including sharing her story at an educators' retreat organized by Army Reserve Ambassador Jim Bernet, has helped demystify military opportunities for students without military backgrounds, highlighting the scholarship’s role in shaping future leaders. Bernet’s efforts in promoting the scholarship and engaging with local communities further underscore the program's impact on empowering young people to pursue both educational and service-oriented paths.
