Reserve Officers' Training Corps Programs
Army ROTC Aid Programs
Scholarships and stipends in Army ROTC help you focus on getting that college degree - not how you'll pay for it. 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.
Air Force ROTC Aid Programs
These days, many students are stuck working their way through college, or taking out loans they'll spend the next 20 years of their lives paying back. Air Force ROTC can help you to overcome the financial hardships associated with college, and when you complete your degree you've got a guaranteed career after school - debt free.
National Guard Virtual Armory Education Website
The Army National Guard is a military service with a mission to support and defend not only the Constitution of the United States, but also that of individual states. Therefore, as a member of the Army National Guard you are also a member of the "Reserve Components" and particularly a reserve of the Army. As a member of the ARNG, you may qualify for numerous federal education benefits; some unique to the ARNG and others as a part of the Army or Reserve Components team. ARNG soldiers, their family members, and employees of the ARNG are eligible for a variety of federal education benefits to assist in the pursuit of higher education objectives.
You may also qualify for additional education benefits funded by your host state (non-federal funds) that are in addition to all other federal benefits, and as such, these state benefits do not constitute a duplication of federal benefits. Most states and territories offer Army National Guard members varying degrees of education incentives, which many times may be used regardless of any federal GI Bill, Kicker, Federal Tuition Assistance, or other federally funded programs.
