Army ROTC Scholarships

ROTC awards scholarships to students at CMU. The Army ROTC scholarship program for graduate students includes a financial benefit package for a period of two years. Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis to prospective cadets, each of whom must be of good moral character, a U.S. citizen, medically qualified, not more than 31 years of age or less at graduation, and able to pass the Army Physical Fitness Test; have no civil convictions (other than minor traffic violations), a GPA of at least 2.5 (4.0 scale), scholar, athlete, and leader attributes, and a minimum of two years remaining in graduate school.

Each scholarship pays for tuition, laboratory fees, on campus educational fees, and $900 for the purchase of textbooks, class supplies, and equipment. Army ROTC Scholarship recipients receive a tax-free subsistence allowance of $350-400 per month for each school year that the scholarship is in effect. The Michigan National Guard, in partnership with ROTC, also offers a non-competitive financial assistance package which pays for tuition and up to $1,200 a month directly to the student.
