ROTC scholarships available by Thomas J. Milley Collegian Contributing Writer "I'm really suprised that more people don't take advantage of it, it's a really great opportunity," says senior Cadet Ralph Drayer of his three year scholarship. "It has given me time to relax and concen trate on my studies without the worry about where next semester's tuition is coming from. People think that you have to sign up for twenty years or something and then get scared off. They should look in to the advantages of the scholar ships in more detail." And looking into ROTC scholarships is exactly what this article is about. Army ROTC scholarships pay for full tuition, books, activities, supplies required for certain ma jors and provide a subsistence allowance of $lOO per month up to $l,OOO per academic year. In return for these benefits, a cadet has several options for obligation to the .Army. They can try for a Guaranteed Reserve Forces Duty scholarship, which has an obligation of eight years in the U.S. Army Reserve, or Army Na tional Guard. They could also try for one of the other active duty scholarships which entail either a three year active-three year reserve obligation or a four year active-two year reserve. Any way you look at it, an active army scholarship is a six year obligation.

First, you need not be enrolled in ROTC to apply, as long as you have two or more academic years remaining in your college career. It doesn't matter how many semesters you've already been here, as long as you are in a degree-seeking program, and have at least two academic years remaining, then you may be eligible. Second, you need not be academically elite. Naturally the higher your cumulative GPA the better your chances of getting a scholarship, but you need only have better than a 2.0 GPA to apply. If you're wondering about whether its really worth it then con sider a few final points: First, your commision'as a Second Lieutenant is a starting position in the Army with an annual salary of $19,000 not including housing and depen dant payments. Second, you will earn beneficial management skills that will - be important to you regardless of whether or not you stay in the Army, or leave to enter the civilian job maritet. If you decide to leave the Army, you will find that your experiences of leading 30-50 men as a platoon leader, will put you a great stride ahead of your peers.
