Army ROTC Scholarships: Army ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) is one of the best leadership courses in the country and is part of your college curriculum. During classes, leadership labs, physical training and field training exercises, you will learn firsthand what it takes to lead others, motivate groups and conduct missions as an Officer in the Army. Upon graduation from Army
ROTC, you will earn the bar of a Second Lieutenant and be commissioned into the Active Army, Army Reserve or Army National Guard and become a leader for life.

Army ROTC is a great opportunity for High School students and there is now two Army ROTC options in the state of Alaska (UAA and UAF) aside from the numerous programs in the lower 48.

Army ROTC scholarships are full-tuition and based on a student's merit not financial need. There are also separate allowances for books and fees as well as stipends that are worth up to $5,000 annually, all of which allow students to focus on academics and their training rather than their finances.
