Looking at Going to Graduate School?

Are you looking at going to graduate school? Do you need someone to pay for it?

Well Army ROTC can help.

We can pay for your graduate school and pay you a stipend each month.

The summer before your first year of grad school (if you do not have any prior military service or JROTC experience), we will send you to a leadership training course called Basic Camp. Basic Camp is a paid, month-long course at Ft. Knox KY in which all travel, food, and housing are paid for. By attending Basic Camp you will learn the basics of what it is like to be an Army Officer. This includes basic military tactics, land navigation, rifle marksmanship, and leadership. By attending Basic Camp you owe the military and ROTC no obligation whatsoever. But should you decide that becoming an Army Officer is for you, then you can contract the beginning of your 1st year of grad school and may receive a scholarship.

If you decide to contract you will take military science classes your first and second year of grad school, then when you graduate you will become an officer in the Army. This gives you a guaranteed, well-paying job, with tons of leadership and management credentials the corporate world is looking for.
