There are scholarships available from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine branches of the ROTC. High School ROTC Involvement ROTC scholarships are available to high school students who have shown excellence in service while they participated in their local high school ROTC chapters.

Attending school on an ROTC scholarship requires that you promise to serve in the military for a specific number of years after graduation, which means that you will have a job as soon as you leave college. The training you receive in the military will prepare you for a number of career opportunities after you finish your tour of duty.
