Student Responsibility

If you want to try the program out first, there is no obligation for taking the class during your Freshman and Sophomore year. It’s like test-driving a car. See if it’s for you. If not, drop it like any other class. If it is, apply for a scholarship.

• Attend ROTC classes (meet 2 times per week)
• Attend ROTC lab (once every week)
• Attend physical training sessions (3 times per week)
• Attend field training exercises (Once a semester)
• Attend and successfully complete Advanced Camp at Fort Knox, Kentucky
• Maintain a GPA of 2.5
• Receive a Bachelor of Science in relevant field of discipline from the College of Sciences and Engineering

Note: Although not exclusively, the Cyber Corps highly values officers with a higher education in relevant Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines and majors. Learn more about entering the Army Cyber profession.

Service Obligation

An individual incurs no obligation to the military through application for a scholarship or initial scholarship acceptance. An obligation occurs only at the time that the military begins paying for a student’s education.

Active duty commitment for scholarship students is four years. You then have the choice to exit active duty and complete four years in the Army Reserves or Inactive Ready Reserves.

Financial Benefits

We offer a range of different types of scholarships that are available for ROTC students.

There are two, three, and four-year scholarships available that provide:

• 100% tuition and mandatory fees
• $1200 for textbooks per year
• Monthly tax-free stipend from $300-500 per month to defray the cost of living

After graduation

US Army Cyber Command operates and defends Army networks and cyberspace against adversaries. It conducts global operations around the clock to defend the nation, with around 16,500 soldiers and civilians in four states and in five countries around the world. Cadets who graduates with a cyber degree and receive commissioning in the US Army can become a Cyber Operations Officer (17A). As the leader of the cyber mission force teams, the officers are frontline workers of US cyberspace, who are responsible to plan and execute operations against adversaries.
