Army ROTC Scholarships

Army ROTC scholarships are offered for two, three, and four years. The two- and three-year scholarships are awarded competitively to students who are enrolled in college. Recipients of these scholarshipsmay be cross-enrolled at Butler University, Marian College, Franklin College, or the University of Indianapolis.

Applications for two- and three-year scholarships are available from the professor of military science (PMS) and must be submitted no later than March 1 for the following fall semester. Recipients will be notified prior to the end of the spring semester.

The three- and four-yearadvanced designee scholarships are awarded by the host ROTC unit based upon quotas allocated by Cadet Command. These scholarships are awarded to U.S. citizens who will be entering college as freshmen. Scholarship winners must enroll at the institution (or partnership school) that awarded them the scholarship. Completed applications must be received by July 15 for early consideration, and by November 15 for final consideration. For more information on scholarship availability and selection procedures, contact the Department of Military Science.

Three-year Advanced Designee scholarships are awarded like four-year scholarships, except that the benefits commence with the student’s sophomore year, if the student continues to meet eligibility requirements.

The value of the tuition/fee portion of the scholarship depends on the amount charged by the institution attended. Students may recieve up to $16,000 per year for tuition/fees; however, students may also receive lesser scholarships. In addition to tuition and fees, scholarship recipients receive $225 per semester for books ($450 per year), and a subsistence allowance of $200 per month while school is in session ($2,000 per year).

Fee Remission

All freshmen and sophomores taking the Basic Course do not have to pay tuition for G101, G102, G201, and G202, since these courses are eligible for university fee remission. Note: The student must pay for G120, G121, E130, and E230 to receive academic credit.

Books/Supplies

All books, supplies, and materials needed in the Basic and Advanced Courses are supplied to the student by the Department of Military Science free of charge.

Subsistence Allowance

Each Advanced Course student and three- and four-year scholarship recipient receives a tax-free allowance of $200 per month up to 10 months per year. Additionally, students are paid approximately $600 for each summer training camp they attend.

Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP)

SMP students draw pay from two sources. First, as advanced ROTC students, they receive $200 a month for each month of the major academic term and approximately $600 for attending their two weeks of summer training/annual training.

Meanwhile, as officer trainees in an Army National Guard or Army Reserve unit, students attend monthly drills and annual training and receive pay equivalent to a sergeant’s (E-5) or the highest grade attained if they have prior military rank.

The ROTC stipend and Army National Guard or Army Reserve pay, including annual training, provides students with approximately $7,000 per year, depending on the nature of their SMP participation.

Institutional Scholarships

IUPUI Army ROTC awards three one-year scholarships annually. The ROTC cadre interviews each applicant. The cadet battalion commander is present for each interview as an observer only. Students must have a minimum grade point average of 2.5 to be eligible for these scholarships.

Student Employment

A limited amount of student employment is managed by the department for administrative tasks. Students may apply for part-time employment. Student employees are paid on an hourly basis.

Employment Opportunities

The Department of Military Science is unique in that it publishes the salary of its active-duty graduates. The current total pay and allowances for a beginning lieutenant start at approximately $32,000 annually and end with a senior general officer at $137,000 (salaries based on 2000 pay scale). Salaries are adjusted for cost-of-living each year.
