Army ROTC can help pay for college while preparing you to lead as an Army officer. Think of this page as your field guide: eligibility, deadlines, documents, application steps, processors, and the people who can help.
Four checkpoints between you and a complete application.
The application itself contains a lot of tabs. The process is much easier to understand when you zoom out first.
Get access.
Complete the initial eligibility questions, create your account, and use the registration email to finish setting up your login.
Build your file.
Complete your personal, parent or guardian, military, academic, activities, survey, schools-of-intent, and essay information.
Bring in your team.
Add your counselor and physical-fitness administrator, enter standardized-test information, and upload the required supporting records.
Clear review.
Track verification, respond promptly to processor requests, complete required interview steps, and stay in touch with Army ROTC.
More room to focus on college.
Scholarship benefits depend on the award and eligibility. Always confirm the exact terms of any scholarship offer.
Do you clear the first checkpoint?
Before spending an hour inside the application portal, make sure the basic requirements look right.
Route yourself to the right processor.
National scholarship processor assignments are organized by the first three letters of the applicant's last name.
Stuck? Don't guess.
Some questions belong with Cadet Command. Others are easier to solve with someone here at the Paul Revere Battalion.
