ROTC Scholarships

For more than 100 years, Norwich University has helped students earn Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) scholarships that make college more affordable while building future military leaders. Whether you’re just beginning the application process or are already deep into requirements, our team is here to support you every step of the way.

What ROTC Scholarships Can Cover

ROTC scholarships can cover full tuition and fees, provide a monthly stipend, and include additional allowances for books and uniforms. Scholarship availability and selection criteria vary by branch, but all are competitive, merit-based, and tied to academic, physical fitness, and leadership performance. 

Scholarships are competitive and merit-based, with selection criteria that typically include:

• Academic strength (GPA, test scores, course rigor)
• Physical fitness performance
• Leadership experience and officer potential
• Extracurricular involvement and service
