Is ROTC an effective way to help fund college?
If you’re interested in joining the military after going to college, it’s hard to beat the financial aid program offered by the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. ROTC provides students with money for college while they are in school. In exchange, the student must make a commitment to join the armed services after graduating. Upon graduation, students become commissioned officers in the Navy, Army, Air Force or Marine Corps. ROTC scholarships pay for tuition, fees, and books for all four years of college. Smaller programs also are available for students who want to make lesser commitments.
