“Flying Forward: How a Veteran’s Mission Is Opening ROTC Doors for Underrepresented Students”
Retired Army helicopter pilot & logistician E. Sean Lanier saw a national challenge: only about half of ROTC scholarship recipients completed their program and became officers. So, he founded Resolve Solutions in 2018 to change that trend. By working closely with high school counselors, coaches, JROTC instructors to guide students to colleges that align with both their goals and ROTC eligibility, and offering dedicated mentorship, Lanier has boosted college retention, graduation, and employment rates—and launched a generational impact. Discover how his nonprofit helps students graduate debt-free, access VA benefits, and build long-term financial stability. 🌍🚁
