ROTC

Army ROTC provides college-trained officers for the Army, Army Reserve, and National Guard. As the largest single source for Army officers, the ROTC program fulfills a vital role in preparing mature young men and women for leadership and management positions in an increasingly technical Army.

High school students compete each year for Illinois State University Federal Army ROTC four-year scholarhips, which cover tuition, books, and includes a monthly stipend. Students already on campus may apply for three and two year Illinois State Federal scholarships.

Illinois residents can compete for state ROTC tuition waivers during undergraduate and graduate programs. The ROTC department has 40 of these waivers active during each semester. This assistance is available to freshmen and sophomores without a military obligation.
