Army ROTC Full-Tuition

LET THE ARMY HELP YOU PAY FOR COLLEGE
While you gain valuable leadership skills in Army ROTC, you can continue your college education at the same time—with financial support from the Army.

GET A SCHOLARSHIP WITH ARMY ROTC
Scholarships and other monetary support are available when you join Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC), which relieves financial pressure so you can focus on your education. You’ll graduate with a respected and secure career path as an Army Officer, and with less debt for the school years your scholarship covers. You’re eligible to apply for a ROTC scholarship— which could get you up to 100% tuition coverage— if you’re a high school student enrolling in college, enrolled in college, or an active-duty enlisted Soldier.

GET TUITION AND FEES COVERED

  • Get the full college experience, only with less debt, in exchange for a career serving in the Army as an Officer after graduation.
  • ROTC scholarship can cover either tuition and fees, or room and board, and each comes with money for living and books
  • The scholarships can be applied to any of the more than 1,000 participating schools
  • Your achievements and grades determine if you’ll be awarded a scholarship, not your financial need
