About

Federal Scholarship

Whether you’re a college-bound high school student or already attending a college or university, Army ROTC has scholarships available. Scholarships are awarded based on a student’s merit and grades, not financial need. Army ROTC scholarships are valuable in many ways:

• Two, three, and four-year scholarship options based on the time remaining to complete your degree.
• Scholarship amounts vary.
• Additional allowances pay for books and fees.

Scholarship plans

The College four-year Scholarship is for college freshmen in their first year of a four-year (or five year for certain degrees) undergraduate plan. Contact the SIUE Army ROTC department for more information. The three-year scholarship is available for students already enrolled with three academic years remaining.
