There are a couple of ways you can join ROTC. One is if you re prior service and you want to do green to gold you can apply for that. Two is a scholarship option. This means you apply online send in SAT and ACT scores and interview and take the presidential fitness test. You can be awarded a three of four year scholarship to any university that offers the program. You can also enroll which means you are not on scholarship so you dont have any military obligation afterwards and you PT and take the classes and do everything. If you choose this option by junior year you have to contract which means a military obligation or get out of the program all together. It depends on what your looking for. If you are sure this is what you want go scholarship if you wanna just try it out then sign up for the class and talk to your professor of military science (if Army) and talk about your options in the program.
You apply to it like any other college except you start applying your junior year and they are looking leadership and fitness as well as academics.
