Students interested in the two-year program should contact the military science department prior to the end of the sophomore academic year. All textbooks and uniforms are provided free of charge. These U.S. Army ROTC scholarships are merit-based, not awarded for financial need.
Competition is based on academic scholarship, leadership and military aptitude.
Prior ROTC enrollment is not required to compete for a scholarship. ROTC is open to both men and women, and non-scholarship students do not incur a military obligation until their MS III year in the program. Upon graduation from college and successful completion of Army ROTC, cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants and may serve on active duty or with the Army Reserve or National Guard. Veterans, members of the Reserve Components, and Junior ROTC graduates may be eligible for advanced placement. All courses include participation in leadership laboratories and training exercises that include rifle marksmanship, rappelling and military drill and ceremonies.
