Army ROTC Scholarship Criteria

Through classes and field training exercises, U.S. Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) provides cadets with the tools needed to become an Army officer without interfering with major classes. ROTC will provide the discipline and scholarship opportunities needed to successfully earn a degree. College-bound high school students and current Adrian College students: Several scholarship opportunities are available for you!

Cadets must compete for slots into the active U.S. Army. Guaranteed Reserve Forces Duty (GRFD) scholarships do not compete for active duty. Instead, they commission into the National Guard/U.S. Army Reserve.
