Army ROTC is a program which provides college trained officers for the Regular U.S. Army, U.S. Army Reserve and the U.S. Army National Guard.  College students may compete for a  three-year or two-year campus based scholarship during their freshman and sophomore years.  The two-year on-campus scholarship program may include scholarships for students enrolled in an advanced education program beyond the baccalaureate level.  Students need not be enrolled in ROTC to compete.  These applications are due during the spring semester.  Two-year scholarships may also be applied for while attending Camp Challenge during the summer.

In addition to the awarded scholarship, each winner receives a flat rate of $600 annually for books, supplies and equipment, as well as a tax free stipend.  If you receive a scholarship and you are an out-of-state student, your out of state tuition will be covered.
