Army ROTC is the college elective that trains the Army and Army National Guard’s future commissioned officers while they earn their degree. Students with little or no military experience begin with Basic Training during the summer after they graduate high school or after their Freshman year of college. The advance course coincides with the Junior and Senior year of college. ROTC is an elective class that works with any schedule while in college and allows you to enjoy the regular college student life.
There are 2, 3, or 4 year scholarships available as well. If you’re interested in the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP), you can earn up to $13,000 per year for tuition and $1487 a month while in school as a regular college student. Give us a call today for more information.
