Army ROTC Scholarships Available
In addition to covering tuition and lab fees, ROTC scholarships include a $200 monthly stipend and $510 per year for books and supplies. Some scholarships also cover room and board. So far this year, the Army ROTC has awarded eleven scholarships valued at a total of $550,000. What kind of student gets an Army ROTC scholarship? The students awarded scholarships last year had a 3.0-plus grade point average and an average ACT score of 26, and most were varsity athletes in high school. These students will enter the United States Army, United States Army Reserve, or National Guard following completion of their education. Although there are more than sixteen different career fields in the Army to choose from, most of the MTU ROTC graduates enter the Army Corps of Engineers. Anyone interested in applying for a scholarship, or who is just curious about what the Army ROTC program has to offer, may contact Captain Otha Thornton, the scholarship officer and assistant professor of military science, in the ROTC Building (Building 4), 487-2650 or oethornt@mtu.edu.
Michigan Tech's Army ROTC program still has two scholarships available for first-year students who have applied for ROTC scholarships.
