In addition to world-class leadership, Army ROTC also offers generous scholarships to qualified students.
These scholarships are based solely on the student's merits - not financial needs. They can defray the full cost of tuition and provide additional tax-free allowances for books and necessary fees.
Additionally, those on Army ROTC scholarship are eligible to receive a tax-free stipend of up to $500 per month - for up to 10 months a year -- to defray living expenses. In those instances in which the cost of room and board exceeds tuition expenses, scholarship winners may elect to have the cost of their room and board paid in lieu of their tuition.

The three-year Army ROTC scholarship is available for students already enrolled in a college or university with three academic years remaining in order to complete their degree. Eligibility requirements include:

Many students hope to combine a career in the private sector with service as an Officer in the Reserve Components. For those individuals, the Guaranteed Reserve Forces Duty Scholarship presents an ideal opportunity.
If selected for one of these scholarships, the student will be guaranteed placement into the Reserve Components upon becoming a lieutenant. In this way they can serve the nation as an Army Officer, while still pursuing employment opportunities in the private sector of the economy.
