Scholarships

Scholarships are awarded based on a student's merit and grades, not financial need.

Army ROTC scholarships are valuable in many ways:

Two-, three-, and four-year scholarship options based on the time remaining to complete your degree

Scholarship amounts vary.

Additional allowances pay for books and fees

Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP)

The Simultaneous Membership Program allows you to attend Army ROTC and serve in the U.S. Army Reserve or Army National Guard at the same time. It gives you an opportunity for additional training and experience. Cadets serve as Officer trainees in the Reserve or National Guard while completing college. You can earn Reserve/Guard pay and benefits in addition to your Army ROTC allowances.

Green to Gold

The Army ROTC Green to Gold Scholarship Program provides selected enlisted Soldiers on Active Duty an opportunity to complete their baccalaureate degree and obtain a commission through participating in ROTC.

Accelerated Program

If you're interested in joining Army ROTC and you are in college, you can start by taking an Army ROTC basic elective course.  If you have at least two or more years remaining toward your undergraduate degree, but not enough time to complete the Basic Course, you can enter the Army ROTC Advanced Course by completing the Leader's Training Course held at Fort Knox, Kentucky, during the summer.
