Let's talk about the Army ROTC Scholarship first.
Nationwide this year in 2012
11,000 high school students, seniors applied
for the Army ROTC scholarship. About 5,000 of
those eleven thousand completed their scholarships and became eligible for the
scholarship.
2000 about 2,000 at those seniors
were awarded the Army ROTC Scholarship. Now
if you apply for an Army ROTC scholarship
and the Army offers it to you, and you accept it then you're going to agree to
serve the regular Army for four years
after you graduate from college. So I like to say this scholarship comes with
a guarantee
good-paying jobs with good benefits after you graduate from college.
Now half of those scholarships
are four-year Army ROTC Scholarships for your benefits kick in the beginning at
your freshman year.
The other half are three-year advanced designee scholarships.
Where your benefits do not kick in until the beginning
love your sophomore year. Now the eligibility requirements
are listed on the slide you've gotta be a US citizen, good moral character,
have at least a 2.5 grade point average. You must have a 920
SAT, but you also must
apply for admission to gain acceptance for admission to the university
that you're looking at. Now was a scholarship paid for?
A lot of people think that this scholarship is a full scholarship
but it is not. By federal law the scholarship
either pays your room and meals or your tuition and fees,
but not both. Here at North Georgia you probably want the scholarship to pay for
your own meals,
because room and meals cost more and tuition and fees.
It will also give you twelve hundred dollars a year for books,
and it gives you three hundred dollars a month stipend in your freshman
year
if you received a four-year scholarship, and it gives you a $350 a month stipend your
sophomore year, $450 Junior
year and five hundred dollars a month your senior year. So you still have to
pay tuition and fees,
you have to pay for uniforms in deposits and stuff your dorm room.
If you're on the Hope Scholarship if your Georgia resident
then the Hope will pay up to four thousand dollars per year for your tuition.
If you're from out of state you'll pay in-state tuition.
Now this is a pretty competitive scholarship this past year we had about
380
applicants for these 42 Army ROTC scholarships.
Out of those three hundred 80 applicants about 200 were
really serious about coming to our university, so the higher grade point
average
the better your SAT scores are and more leadership positions you assume in your
sports extracurricular activities
and outside school interests the more competitive you're gonna be for this
scholarship.
