ROTC
Scholarships
ROTC scholarships are awarded to hundreds of students each
year at college campuses across the United States. These scholarships
are awarded strictly on merit – to the most outstanding
students who apply, regardless of their family’s financial
status. ROTC scholarships vary based on the branch of service
and the type and/or length of the scholarship. ROTC scholarships
provide money for college tuition, educational fees, books,
and in some cases a monthly allowance. Scholarship recipients
participate in summer training during their enrollment in
college and must fulfill their military obligation, either
active duty or reserve service, after graduation. If you are

Military Service Academies Scholarships
The U.S. Military Service Academies offer young men and
women the opportunity to earn a college degree (Bachelor
of Science Degree) and commission as an officer for the
U.S. Armed Forces. The Army, Navy, Air Force, Merchant Marine,
and Coast Guard have their own Service Academy. An education
received from one of the academies is ranked among the best
in the nation. Military Service Academies award full scholarships
to students accepted for admission which cover tuition,
room and board; each student also receives a monthly stipend
to meet cost of books, supplies, clothing and personal expenses.

VA Benefits
Military veterans are eligible for reimbursement of up to
60% of their flight training expenses. The 60% assistance
does not cover books and materials. This program is available
for professional students (not private pilot students) who
attend a Part 141 approved flight school that is authorized
to offer VA Benefits.
If you believe you may be eligible for educational
assistance under this program, you should contact the Department
of Veterans Affairs (DVA) Office at (800) 827-1000 or visit
their Web site.
If you are still on active duty, you should contact your
Base Education Officer.
