TO HELP YOU FINANCE YOUR COLLEGE YEARS, Army ROTC scholarships pay 100% tuition and required fees (or can optionally be applied to Room & Board expenses). They're awarded based on merit -- be evaluating academic achievements, physical fitness, extracurricular activities, and personal interviews. Scholarship winners receive a stipend ($300 freshman, $350 sophomore, $450 junior, $500 senior) for each academic month plus an annual allowance of $900 for books and other educational items. If you're a non-scholarship student, you can still receive the stipend as a contracted cadet during your last two years. If you're selected to receive a scholarship, you will have a commitment to the Army after completing the program. You can fulfill it by either serving part time in the Army National Guard or Army Reserve, or full time on active duty.
