ROTC Scholarships

The Army ROTC program is the single largest source of scholarship money in the United States. Each year, the Army awards millions of dollars in scholarships to thousands of deserving students nationwide. At À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, approximately 90% of all students enrolled in the Advanced Course have been awarded scholarships.

These scholarships are awarded based on merit, not financial need. Two-, three-, and four-year scholarships are available to qualified students. High school seniors can apply for either a three- or four-year scholarship. College students can apply for either a two- or three-year scholarship.
