Campus Based Scholarship

Army ROTC Scholarships

 

Campus based scholarships are offered to students who were not offered or did not apply for the High School ROTC Scholarship or Green to Gold program. These scholarships may range in length from two to four years. Scholarships pay for full tuition and mandatory fees, for both resident and non-resident students. You may elect to receive $5,000 per semester instead of receiving the tuition and fees money. Scholarship awardees also receive a book allowance of $600 per semester (not to include summer) and a tax-free monthly stipend of $420 to defray the cost of living.
