Army ROTC Scholarships
Army ROTC scholarships are offered for two, three and four years. The two- and three-year scholarships are awarded competitively to students who are enrolled in college. Recipients of these scholarships may be cross-enrolled at Butler University, Marian College, Franklin College, IU-Kokomo or the University of Indianapolis.
Applications for two- and three-year scholarships are available from the professor of military science and must be submitted no later than March 1st for the following fall semester. Recipients will be notified prior to the end of the spring semester.
The host ROTC unit awards scholarships based upon quotas allocated by Cadet Command. The three-year and four-year Advanced Designee scholarships are awarded to U.S. citizens who will be entering college as freshmen. Scholarship winners must enroll at the institution (or partnership school) that awarded them the scholarship. For more information on scholarship availability and selection deadlines, contact the Department of Military Science.
Three-year Advanced Designee scholarships are awarded in a manner similar to the four-year scholarships, except that the benefits commence with the student’s sophomore year if the student continues to meet eligibility requirements.
The value of the tuition/fee portion of the scholarship depends on the amount charged by the institution attended. Students may receive full compensation for tuition and fees; however, students may also receive lesser scholarships. In addition to tuition and fees, scholarship recipients receive $1200 per year for books, and a subsistence allowance of $300–$500 per month, depending on academic level, while school is in session.
Fee Scholarship
All freshmen and sophomores taking the Basic Course do not have to pay tuition for MILS-G 101, MILS-G 102, MILS-G 201 or MILS-G 202, since these courses are eligible for university fee scholarship. Note: The student must pay for MILS-G 120, MILS-G 121, MILS-G 301, MILS-G 302, MILS-G 310, MILS-G 401, MILS-G 402, HPER-E 130 and HPER-E 230 to receive academic credit.
Books/Supplies
All books, supplies and materials needed in the Basic Course are supplied to the student by the Department of Military Science free of charge.
Subsistence Allowance
Each Advanced Course student and three- and four-year scholarship recipients receive a tax-free allowance of at least $350 per month up to 10 months per year. Additionally, students are paid approximately $900 for each summer training camp they attend.
Student Employment
The department manages a limited amount of student employment. Students may apply for part-time employment. Student employees are paid on an hourly basis.
