Scholarships
The Army ROTC provides several scholarships each year to motivated students willing to serve their country as an Army officer. Army ROTC scholarships are entirely merit-based and are granted on a competitive basis.
All scholarships offer full-tuition, an annual book allowance of $900 per year, and a tax-free monthly stipend ($300 for freshmen, $350 for sophomores, $450 for juniors, and $500 for seniors). Scholarship packages are available in four-years, three-years, and two-years.
Advanced Course Enrollment
Upon enrollment into the Advanced Course, all students receive a $450 a month stipend their MS III (Junior) year and $500 a month stipend their MS IV (Senior) year even if the cadet does not have an Army ROTC scholarship.
Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP)
The Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP) program allows Advanced Course students to serve in the Army National Guard or the Army Reserve and Army ROTC at the same time. ROTC SMP cadets are paid at the grade of a Sergeant (E-5) (around $250 for each month's weekend drill) for their Guard or Reserve drills, along with the ROTC stipend. ROTC SMP students serve as officer trainees in their Guard or Reserve units and are eligible for certain veterans educational benefits from their Guard or Reserve units. A typical Reserve or Guard SMP cadet can expect to receive over $1100 per month.
Green to Gold Program
The Green to Gold program seeks talented young enlisted soldiers who have decided to leave, or are considering leaving, active duty to attend college. Quality enlisted soldiers with officer potential who have served at least two years on active duty are allowed to voluntarily request discharge from active duty and enroll in Army ROTC to earn baccalaureate degrees and commissions as second lieutenants.
