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.
If you're wondering if it's too
late to get a scholarship, then you

Plan . now for next year's
education
Behrend Students have the op
portunity to enrich their educa
tional experience by participating
in study abroad programs. These
programs are open to any Penn
State student with a 2.50 Grade
Point' Average and upon comple
tion of certain course prerequisites
for the program in which they are
seeking enrollment.
Tuition charges for all foreign
studies programs are the same as
for the University Park campus.
Round-trip transportation and a
one-time program , fee, which may
vary, must be borne by the student.
When room and board ar
rangements are provided, these
costs are based on the standard
University Park double room and
board rate. Students eligible for
financial aid would continue
receiving such aid for their study
abroad.
Programs vary in length from
one semester to year-long terms of
study. Most participants are of
junior or senior standing during
their study abroad.
Students may presently choose
Reminder to all males 18 yrs. or older
Following federal lead, nine
states have no enacted legislation

New driver's license photo
makes fake I.D.'s difficult
Rep. Harry B. BoWser said that
beginning this month - motorists
who renew will receive a new type
of driver's license. Bowser noted
that a feature was added to the
license to identify under-21 drivers.

and year of the person's 21st birth
day, all in bold print.
Drivers who would like to ex

through December 31. The replace

should know a few things. 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. For more in
formation on what industry leaders
think of the Army ROTC program,
and ROTC scholarships, ask Major
McDavid in the ROTC office to
show you the pamphlet entitled
"The Margin of Difference."
