THE MASTER SERGEANT JIMMIE QUINTERO SCHOLARSHIP

(April 2024) The first Master Sergeant Jimmie Quintero Scholarship was presented to U.S. Army Sergeant Kyle Pringle, marking a significant milestone in our organization's history. We extend our congratulations to Sgt. Pringle and wish him success in his academic endeavors, specifically  in Aquatic Biology. Beginning February 2026, this scholarship will be earmarked and awarded to a Texas high school senior who is an active participant in their school's JROTC program and has committed to enlist in the United States Military upon graduation.

THE *MSG JIMMIE QUINTERO ENDOWMENT FUND IS DONATED ANNUALLY TO HATS OFF FOR VETERANS BY U.S. ARMY MASTER SERGEANT (RETIRED) JIMMIE QUINTERO AND HIS WIFE, SHIN, IN THE GENEROUS AMOUNT OF $1,000.

  

*This scholarship is awarded to a Texas high school senior who is an active participant in their school's JROTC program and has committed to enlist in the United States Military upon graduation. There will be four $500 awards in 2026.


Jimmie Quintero was born and raised in mid-Manhattan. “I joined the U.S. Army on July 11, 1966, as a seventeen-year-old hooligan from New York City,” he quipped. 


His first duty was to be a cook during the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) Conflict, which is sometimes referred to as the Second Korean War. 


His initial assignment was to cook in Ft. Hood, TX but he decided to apply to the United States Army Intelligence Center of Excellence (USAICoE), which is the United States Army's school for professional training of military intelligence personnel and soon, his Army career took a whole new route. 


His assignments were in tactical and strategic intelligence and included prisoner of war (POW) interrogations and intelligence analysis.


After 26 years, Jimmie retired as a Master Sergeant in the United States Army.

"Shin and I are honored to pay it forward to help a Veteran to achieve their educational goals."
