The Army, Navy and Marine Corps each provide tuition assistance in addition to what you earn through the Montgomery GI Bill. You must take one military science course along with your other college courses and, upon graduation, enter the service as a commissioned officer. Full ROTC scholarships pay for almost all tuition, fees and books charges for four years of college. ROTC scholarships also come in one, two and three-year lengths. Each branch of the service operates its own Service Academy as a four-year institution of higher education.
All students receive a full scholarship with a small monthly stipend.
Upon graduation, you're commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Army, Air Force, or Marine Corps or as an ensign in the Navy or Coast Guard. Appointment to a service academy is extremely competitive. It offers a variety of programs leading to an Associate's Degree, in more than 70 scientific and technical fields. All rights reserved.
