Corps and is one of the most allencompassing scholarship programs in the
United States. As part of ROTC, students
receive the education necessary to excel as
future Officers in the Army, Navy, and Air
Force.
Financial Assistance
Most ROTC scholarships cover the entire
cost of tuition. The Navy covers housing and
books as well as provides a stipend, while
the Army covers only tuition. Air Force offers
a majority of scholarship recipients full tuition
up to the in-state cost as well as stipends for
books.
ROTC members are also provided a living
expense. Starting at $250 a month, the
amount increases each school year.
