4-Year Scholarship Program
Army ROTC- Your key to an SDSU4-Year
scholarship!.
LET THE ARMY PAY COLLEGE COSTS YOU
CONCENTRATE ON CLASSES

Several recent SDSU Collegian stories have
highlighted the ever-increasing cost of a 4-year
education at SDSU. The story said the average
student graduates from SDSU with an average of
18,000 in school loans to pay back. Why not let
Army ROTC show you how a value-added degree from
SDSU and a prestigious commission as an Army
Officer can be your gateway to future
success. You can pick up a 4-Year Scholarship
Application in Room 200, DePuy Military Hall on
the SDSU campus, or ask your high school guidance
counselor if there is one available at your
school. To apply on-line, visit
www.rotc.monroe.army.mil. The scholarship
pays all tuition and fees, 600 per semester for
books and materials, plus 300 a month for other
expenses each month you are enrolled during the
regular school year. The monthly stipend
increases each year as your progress through
college.
With an Army ROTC Scholarship, you could have a
job waiting for you after graduation - and
significantly fewer school loans to repay after
graduation. In fact, you may not even have to
hunt for a job after graduation. With an
officers commission as a Second Lieutenant,
youll start at about 45,000 a year with full
health and dental coverage, moving expenses, and
30-days paid vacation a year. To qualify for
the scholarship, you will take an Army Physical
Fitness Test (APFT), complete a physical exam and
conduct an interview with the Professor of
Military Science. A scholarship will provide
financial security while you attend college!
Tuition and fee payments are made directly
to the SDSU Cashiers office. The book money and
monthly stipend are directly deposited into the
account of your choice. An ROTC scholarship is a
smart choice for a rewarding future!
