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 considered a beginning Freshman and have 4 academic years remaining for a baccalaureate degree upon enrollment in the fall of 1993 (4 year scholarship applicants only).
  • If you are in an accelerated program and will complete your senior year of high school and first year of college concurrently- you 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.
  • Receive at least a minimum SAT score of 920 or an ACT composite score of 19.
