| ROTC programs
are located at approximately 600 colleges and universities across
the US; in addition to the institutions that serve as hosts or extensions,
there are another 1,800 institutions in which an ROTC student can
cross-enroll. Graduating high school seniors who qualify for competitive
four-year ROTC scholarships will receive the costs of tuition, fees,
and books, and a monthly stipend. Students who receive ROTC scholarships
must meet certain physical and academic requirements and agree to
accept an appointment as commissioned officers in the military after
graduation. (A minimum of four years active and two years reserve
duty are required.) In addition, some ROTC scholarships may be available
for students who decide to join as college sophomores or even juniors,
as well as for students who originally joined ROTC units as non-scholarship
student. The requirements and obligations are somewhat different for
these students than for four-year scholarship students. There are
different requirements, procedures, and benefits associated with the
ROTC program operated by the various military services. In addition
to ROTC programs, there are also other special programs which provide
college financial assistance to students who promise to fulfill a
term of military service after graduation. |
