Four-Year

The four-year scholarship is designed for high school seniors. Students apply for the scholarship their senior year in high school. The ROTC Four-year Scholarships are awarded to the most outstanding applicants. In keeping with our high standards of excellence, candidates are selected for merit-based scholarships on their scholastic achievement and extra-curricular accomplishments. Even if you’re not awarded a scholarship now, there are other ROTC scholarship opportunities once you’re on campus.

The Benefits

  • 100 percent tuition or housing and living allowance
  • $1,200 yearly book allowance
  • ROTC monthly stipend $420 a month

Who’s Eligible?

Selection of winners is based on academic record, school officials’ evaluations, extracurricular activity, leadership and athletics, a personal interview and a physical aptitude exam. Preference is given to students pursuing degrees in engineering, the physical sciences, or nursing.

You’re eligible for the four-year ROTC scholarship if you’re ready to begin college as a full-time student, have no prior college experience, and meet the following requirements:

  • You’ll be seventeen before the scholarship is effective.
  • Have good high school grades.
  • Participate in leadership, extracurricular, and athletic activities (a part time job earns you substitute credit).
  • Under thirty the year you expect to graduate.
  • Are a senior in high school or equivalent preparing to graduate or a graduate.
  • Agree to accept a commission in the U.S. Army.
  • Meet required physical standards.

Your ROTC Commitment

As a winner of a four-year scholarship, you’re required to take an ROTC class that demands a few hours of your time each week. Upon graduation, you have an obligation to accept a commission and serve full-time in the active Army, or part-time in either the Army National Guard or the U.S. Army Reserve.

Deadlines

The four-year high school scholarship window normally opens the summer before the senior year on 15 June and ends on 31 January.  Applicants are encouraged to submit their applications early.
