Am I Eligible?
Any full time student is eligible to take part in the Army
ROTC program. All you have to do is sign up for Military Science and
Leadership 1010. It's a one credit hour class and you can try Army ROTC
with no obligation.
You must meet the following general requirements to receive an Army
ROTC scholarship.
- Be a United States citizen
- Be 17 years of age by October 1 of 1999 (for people
starting college in fall of 1999), and must not reach your 27th
birthday by June 30 of year in which you graduate from college and
receive your commission. If you have prior active duty military service
you may be eligible for extension of this age requirement- the age is
extended 1 year for each 1 year of military service. The maximum
extension is 3 years which means you must be under 30 years of age on
June 30, 2003 (again, for people starting college in fall of 1999)
- Be a high school graduate or posses an equivalent
certificate before September 1999 (for people starting college in fall
1999). If you are taking or have taken college courses, you must be

a baccalaureate degree upon enrollment in the fall of 1993 (4 year
scholarship applicants only).

must have 4 academic years remaining in an approved baccalaureate
degree program upon enrollment in the fall of 1999.
- Have no moral obligation or personal conviction that will
prevent you from: 1) Supporting and defending the Constitution of the
United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. 2)
Conscientiously bearing arms.
- Satisfactorily explain any record of arrest and/or civil
conviction.
