Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC)

The Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) is a program that offers merit scholarships to certain students in exchange for a contract agreement to serve in the military for a period of time. The Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force all have ROTC programs (the Coast Guard has the College Student Pre-Commissioning Initiative, or CSPI, instead of ROTC). These programs involve a series of classes and training designed to prepare college students to become military officers after they graduate. Students take these classes alongside their regular required college classes.

The different military branches each have their own program rules, structure and requirements. 

Answers to Common Questions:

Eligibility   Value   How to apply

ROTC scholarships are awarded based on merit, not on need. If an individual is a high school student (junior or senior) or a college student (freshman or sophomore) and they can demonstrate skill or talent in things like academic performance, test scores and extra-curricular activities, they may be eligible for ROTC scholarships.

ROTC awards vary depending on when a student enters the program, what school they attend, and the branch of service they choose. Some scholarships provide 100% of the cost of tuition, fees and books for eligible students. ROTC may also provide a monthly stipend, or living allowance.

An armed forces recruiter can provide information on how to apply.
