Scholarships and Financial Aid (draft)

Ease the Strain of Paying for College

One of the most stressful complications for college students is finding the money to pay for the myriad of college-related expenses. The Army offers many scholarship options for those looking to gain tuition or housing assistance while pursuing their degree as a full-time student. ROTC offers two, three and four-year scholarships, based on individual cadet circumstances. The Army ROTC scholarship entitles its recipients to full-tuition assistance or room-and-board reimbursement, as well as a textbook/fee allowance, and a monthly stipend which helps cover some student living expenses.

To be eligible to compete for an ROTC scholarship, students must: 

1) Be a U.S. citizen.

2) Be at least 17 and under 31 in year of commissioning.

3) Have a high school diploma or equivalent.

4) Have an unweighted high school GPA of at least 2.50 if you're in high school while applying.

5) Have taken the SAT or ACT.

6) Take the Army Fitness Test (AFT).

7) Meet the physical height and weight requirements.
