At Florida Tech it gets you a scholarship!
Just as a point of interest: In the Army, Eagle Scout increases enlistee pay. For the academy, it counts heavily in points toward the Whole Candidate Score used to determine appointments.
Civilian colleges may not award points, but they are aware of the perseverance and effort involved in earning these awards. They can only be looked at positively.
