If you are attending or plan to attend Northern Arizona University and are interested in receiving some of the best leadership training available and possibly a scholarship, Army ROTC may be right for you.

The Army ROTC program provides an opportunity for college students to receive practical, hands-on leadership experience and prepares them for service as an Army Officer. These courses teach students to develop management, communication, and decision-making skills that are useful in and out of the Army. This training is ultimately designed to give the college student the necessary leadership skills and “ability to think on one’s feet” required to be an officer in the United States Army. The Army ROTC program offers the opportunity to earn a commission in the active Army as well as the Army National Guard or the Army Reserves (through the Simultaneous Member Program).

Students who are interested in obtaining a Bachelors or Graduate degree may choose to enroll in Army ROTC as an elective without any commitment. Students who decide to commit must be qualified and contracted by the beginning of their last two years of school. Upon completion of the program, students receive a commission as Officers in the United States Army.

Scholarship Opportunities The Army offers 2, 3, and 4 year scholarships to students, depending on the number of semesters

required to complete their degree. To qualify, you must: • Be a citizen of the United States • Be between the ages of 17 and 32 • Current cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 • Have a High school diploma or equivalent • Physically fit and medically qualified • Agree to accept a commission and serve in the Army on Active Duty or in a Reserve Component (U.S. Army Reserve or Army National Guard) Financial Benefits • Full Tuition/fees or $5000 per semester for Room & Board • $1200 per year for books • Personal stipend of $420 per month during the school year
