Army ROTC Scholarships

Scholarship Sponsored by US Army

Financial aid, including scholarships, is accessible to assist with expenses when you become a part of the Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC). Concentrate on your studies and transition into a stable career as an Army Officer, with reduced debt for the academic years your scholarship covers. High school students preparing for college, those already enrolled in college, or active-duty enlisted Soldiers are all eligible.

Receive financial assistance for living costs and textbooks.

Get monthly support to alleviate living and textbook expenses. All ROTC scholarships provide an additional $420 each month during the academic year for costs such as accommodation, plus an annual $1,200 for textbooks.

Application process for high school or college students.

Upon finishing your junior year of high school or as a college student, you're eligible to apply for an Army ROTC scholarship at a participating institution.

Your commitment with an ROTC scholarship

Accepting the ROTC scholarship implies a future service commitment of eight years in the Army, with active duty and/or Army Reserve or Army National Guard obligations depending on the scholarship.

Scholarship recipients who decide to leave the ROTC program can do so after their first year of college without any commitment.
