The U.S. Army is interested in selecting the best candidates for scholarships and ultimately commissioning them as the future officer leadership of the U.S. Army. This scholarship covers full tuition, fees, books and supplies. Recipients also receive a tax-free subsistence allowance each month that the recipient attends classes (up to 10 months each year): $300 for the first year, $350 for the sophomore year, $450 junior year, and $500 senior year. In addition to the ROTC national scholarship competition (applied for during a student's senior year of high school), students may apply for a three or four-year scholarship during their first year of college. Sophomores may apply for a two- or three-year scholarship and juniors may apply for a two-year scholarship. Students must be enrolled in a military science class to compete for a campus-based scholarship. The Army ROTC program provides an academically integrated curriculum intended to train college students as officers for the United States Army. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information about the eligibility, criteria, and application.
