Criteria for Army ROTC Scholarships

Whether you’re a college-bound high school student or already attending a college or university, Army ROTC Scholarships are available for anybody that wants to apply and meets the criteria.

Scholarships are awarded based on a student’s merit and grades, not financial need.

For ALL Army ROTC Scholarships, Cadet Command utilizes the following three criteria areas to determine eligibility and awards. This is a competitive process, just because you are qualified does not mean you will automatically receive a scholarship.

Scholar criteria is determined from your high school grades (minimum of a 2.5 CUM GPA) and SAT or ACT scores. The higher your grades and scores, the better your chances.

Athlete criteria is determined by your participation in sports, your performance on the Army Physical Fitness Test, and whether or not you meet the Army’s height and weight standards. The better your physical and athletic ability, the better your chances.  Learn more about Army Physical Fitness here.

Leader criteria is determined by your participation in leadership positions in extra-curricular activities both in and out of high school during your high school years. Particular emphasis is placed on leadership positions you may have held on sports teams, volunteer activities, part-time work, clubs, scouting, church, etc.
