The two-year scholarship is available to any student who has completed their freshman and sophomore years of college or is in their last two years of graduate study. To qualify for the scholarship, an applicant needs to qualify for the ROTC Advance Course. This can be done with placement credit for the Basic Course (i.e. Jr. ROTC, prior military service, member of reserve component, etc.).

Otherwise the applicant can attend the four week ROTC Leaders Training Course (LTC) at Ft. Knox, Kentucky, during the summer to validate the scholarship before beginning their junior year. Those who attend LTC have no military obligation unless they decide to accept the two year ROTC scholarship.

Benefits:

• Full tuition or room & board (No requirement to live on campus)
• $1,200 yearly book allowance
• ROTC Monthly Stipend $300-$500 a month
