The ASVAB is multiple-aptitude battery that measures developed abilities and helps predict future academic and occupational success in the military.
The ASVAB can also be helpful in helping students figure out what areas their skills and abilities may be strongest. If you are unsure of what you want to do after high school, taking the ASVAB could be helpful for your career exploration (even if you aren't sure if you want to join the military).
Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) is a leadership training and development program that prepares full-time, college-enrolled students for service opportunities in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Space Force (the Coast Guard offers a similar program called the College Student Pre-Commissioning Initiative [CSPI]). Joining ROTC opens a door to professional skills development, scholarship opportunities and tuition assistance, and, upon completion, attaining the rank of officer. Today, ROTC is offered at more than 1,700 colleges and universities.
ROTC offers a competitive scholarship program that can make education affordable and help advance a student’s personal and professional goals. It is offered at many traditional four-year colleges and universities, senior military colleges (all branches except the Coast Guard) and junior military colleges (Army and Navy ROTC only).
While it can vary by college and branch, each ROTC program will include some form of classroom instruction, field training exercises, leadership labs and physical fitness.
The requirements for the scholarship may differ by Service branch, however, to qualify for an ROTC scholarship, the applicant must:
be a U.S. citizen
be at least 17 years of age
have a high school GPA of at least 2.50 (3.0 for Air Force)
have a high school diploma or equivalent
submit ACT or SAT scores
meet physical standards
agree to accept a commission and serve as an active-duty service member or in the Reserve or Guard
Applications are typically submitted by the end of the first semester of a high school student’s senior year.
