Austin High School Naval Junior ROTC Cadet Selected to Attend Elite Naval Air Forces Flight Academy

(FORT BEND ISD) - Austin High School Naval Junior ROTC cadet Reva Jogdand has been selected to attend the elite 2023 Commander of Naval Air Forces Flight Academy this summer. Jogdand participated in an extensive selection process and was one of only 26 students selected from more than 500 applicants nationwide.

Students were evaluated based on their grades, leadership roles in school, community service and a 400-word essay. They also had to perform well on the Aviation Qualifying Test and other exams that measured their knowledge in all aspects of aviation. At the end of the intensive eight-week program at the flight academy, Jogdand will earn college credit and have an opportunity to get her private pilot license. The United States Navy funds scholarships worth more than $24,000 for each student to attend its academy. Jogdand is the second student from Fort Bend ISD to be chosen to attend a prestigious naval flight academy. Last summer, Travis High School JROTC student Rishita Bagga was also selected to attend a naval flight academy.
