Pay for college and serve your country by joining Army ROTC!! Scholarships are available for 2, 3, and 4 years!!

There are two, three and four-year scholarships available for non-contracted cadets. Four-year national scholarships are offered to high school seniors (Applications are due around December); three and two-year scholarships are offered to college freshmen and sophomores (These applications are due in March each year) All awards are based on GPA, interview results, and participation in community and school activities. All scholarship and contracted cadets also receive a subsistence allowance of $250 to $400 per month while attending school. Green to Gold scholarships are offered to Army active duty personnel in four, three and two-year terms. All applications can be obtained by calling 1-800-USA-ROTC or by clicking on the above ROTC National Headquarters link.

Scholarships pay full tuition and mandatory fees OR Room and Board fees.
In addition to the awarded scholarship, each winner receives a flat rate of $900 annually for books, supplies and equipment as well as up to $250 to $400 per month stipend during school.
Selection of winners is based on academic record, SAT or ACT test results, school official's evaluations, extracurricular, leadership and athletic activities, a scholarship board, and the Army Physical Fitness Test.
Since the Army, like many of today's top organizations, value technological skills, scholarship preference is given to students pursing degrees in engineering, the physical sciences, and nursing. Students pursuing other degrees are also encouraged to apply and these students are often scholarship winners as well.

Your ROTC Commitment

As a winner of a 4, 3 or 2-year scholarship, you're required to take an ROTC class, which meets two times each week. You will be required to attend physical training three times a week and leadership laboratory once a week. Upon graduation, you have an obligation to accept a commission and serve full time in the Active Army for four years, or part time in either the Army National Guard, or the US Army Reserve for eight years.

In addition to helping you meet the escalating cost of going to college, our program provides an experience that successful careers are built on. You'll be given personal, scholastic and professional training no other college course offers. You'll learn how to take charge, how to perform under pressure, and how to lead and inspire others.
