Award Amount

Scholarship amounts vary based on the applicant’s financial need, which is determined by the FAFSA. Recipients will receive a minimum award of $500 per semester.

Why ROTC?

Through a combination of rigorous academics, hands-on field experience and physical training, the ROTC prepares students to become well-rounded leaders ready to take on any challenge. Upon completion of the program, not only will cadets earn a degree but also a commission as a second lieutenant in the Army.
