If you click on the link SE Mom posted you can see the ad from back then.

The 60's were a different time. Back then, it appears that the USMA referred to "scholarships" in an ad.

“Back then, it appears that the USMA referred to “scholarships” in an ad.”

Was that a West Point ad specifically, or just a general ad. Where’s the link to the ad. I want to read it.

You are correct. Because indeed, the 2nd meaning of the word scholarship is— “support for education”.

To wit: USMA and all the other national academies, provides- tuition, room, board, medical/dental care, and annual salary for cadets. This IS indeed a scholarship for those admitted to develop into the serving officer leadership ranks as desired by senior commanders.

The utter foolishness of some posting here indicates their lack of understanding, almost willful.
