US Army Scholarships

Army ROTC provides full tuition and fees (or $10K for room and board) scholarships to over 2000 high school students each year. We intend to continue to sustain that same level of commitment into 2021. In addition to the tuition and fees, the scholarship pays $1200 annually for books and a stipend of $420 per months (for up to 10 months a year.) I have provided links to several resources that you can use to assist in counseling your students. One is the Army ROTC overview. It explains, in general terms, the basic eligibility and benefits for the program. The other two items are a resource that you can use to assist the students in preparing for the ACT/SAT as they wait for the tests to be conducted. These tools provide a great way for students to use their spare time to improve test scores. All are easily downloaded by clicking the links below. (I can email the information to you if you are interested!) Scholarship Eligibility Requirements  Be a U.S. citizen.  Be between the ages of 17 and 26 and/or must be able to commission as an Officer by age 30.  Have a high school cumulative grade point average of at least 2.50.  Have a high school diploma or equivalent.  Score a minimum of 1000 on the SAT (math/verbal) or 19 on the ACT (excluding the writing test scores).  Meet the physical standards.  Civil convictions are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.  Agree to accept a commission and serve in the Army on Active Duty or in the Reserve Component (Army Reserve or National Guard). text SCHOLARSHIP to GOARMY
