To whom is the Cadet Achievement award given?

The Cadet Achievement Award is given to cadets who distinguish themselves through steady performance in the NJROTC program. This award recognizes individuals who demonstrate consistent effort, dedication, and improvement over time, reflecting the program's emphasis on personal growth and responsibility.

A focus on steady performance ensures that the award is reserved for cadets who have shown reliability and commitment to the values of the NJROTC program, rather than just participation in activities or achieving specific goals alone. While participation in extracurricular activities and achieving top performance can be valuable, the distinguishing characteristic for this award specifically centers on the consistency and quality of a cadet's overall efforts and attitude throughout their time in NJROTC. This embodies the program's ideals of leadership, character, and citizenship development.
