Scholarships and Benefits
 
Scholarships

The benefits of Army ROTC extend beyond the financial. Army ROTC will teach you leadership greater than any other course available on a college campus. You will be challenged at a level greater than most college students that will test you both mentally and physically. In Army ROTC, you will make friends that will last a lifetime, whether here or at one of the many training opportunities available to cadets across the country. The only limit to your success is the limitations on your motivation and willingness to take on new challenges.

The financial benefits are great too. As an Army ROTC cadet, you will be eligible for many of the following:

Full Tuition Scholarship (at either a Public or Private 4 year accredited college)
Book Stipend ($600 per semester)
Monthly Living Stipend for the 10-months school is in session

$300 per month for Freshmen
$350 per month for Sophomores
$450 per month for Juniors
$500 per month for Seniors

Benefits

Brand-new Second Lieutenants on active duty earn approximately $38,000 per year, including housing, food and other compensation. Don't forget—soldiers earn 30 days annual paid vacation while on active duty and have full medical/dental coverage. This allows for a very competitive salary that is comparable to many civilian jobs.
