4-Year Scholarships

FOUR YEAR SCHOLARSHIPS

Four-year scholarships are awarded to the most outstanding applicants. In keeping with our high standards of excellence, candidates are selected for scholastic as well as extracurricular accomplishment, and not on the basis of financial need.

Not only do winners receive a scholarship valued up to $16,000 per year; all scholarship winners receive:

$450 annually for books, supplies and equipment,
$150 per month in spending money (Up to $1500 annually).

Who is Eligible?

You're eligible for the four-year ROTC scholarship if you're ready to begin college as a full-time freshman, have no prior college experience, and meet the following criteria:

You'll be 17 years of age before the scholarship is effective.

You've taken the SAT or ACT no later than November of the year you apply, and                                have a minimum 920 SAT or composite 19 ACT score.

You have good high school grades.

You participate in leadership, extracurricular and athletic activities                                            (a part-time job earns you substitute credit).

You'll be under 27 years of age on June 30 of the year you expect to graduate.                          Qualifying veterans may be granted an age extension of up to three years.

You're a high school graduate or have equivalent credit.

You agree to accept a commission in the United States Army.

How Winners are Selected

Selection of winners is based on the following

                        academic record
                        SAT or ACT test results
                        school officials' evaluations
                        extracurricular, leadership and athletic activities
                        a personal interview

Your Commitment to ROTC

As a winner of a four-year scholarship, you're required to take an ROTC class, which demands no more than a few hours of your time each week. Upon graduation, you have an obligation to accept a commission and serve full time in the Active Army, or part time in either the Army National Guard, or the U.S. Army Reserve.

ROTC's Commitment to You

In addition to helping you meet the escalating cost of going to college, our program provides an experience that successful careers are built on. You'll be given personal, scholastic and professional training no other college course offers. You'll learn how to take charge, how to perform under pressure, and how to lead and inspire others. You'll graduate with an impressive resume in leadership and management, and with the background employers value. That makes ROTC participation step in a very smart direction.

When to Apply

The Scholarship application deadline is 15 December 1998.
