WPI is one of two schools with a fire protection engineering degree. If his ROTC scholly doesn't specify a major, he should look closely at that program as it has really good career options.

I probably should wait to post until I have all the details (like which school the scholarship is for), but I can't contain my excitement for him.
His ultimate goal is to earn an appointment to the Naval Academy, but this is a tremendous fall-back opportunity for him if he doesn't get into Annapolis.
We'll pray that he gets into Annapolis, but this is a great thing.
God's blessings.
