ROTC Scholarship 2022 – All You Need to Know
An ROTC scholarship will cover most of your academic fees for your commitment to military service both during your time in college and after you graduate.
About ROTC Scholarship
College students who intend to join the U.S. military after graduation can enroll in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC), a program that trains officers.
Over 1,700 colleges—civil, military, and junior military—host and take part in an ROTC program. While the Marine Corps does not have its own ROTC, there is a Marine option inside the Navy ROTC.
The Army, Navy, and Air Force each have their own ROTC programs. On their websites, ROTC programs include a wealth of information, such as host schools, tuition help, qualifying requirements, post-graduation benefits, and more.
