Two-Year Program
Available to qualified full-time students (generally having a minimum of
two academic years remaining to degree completion) who meet the cri-
teria set forth in items two or three above. Application for this program
should be made prior to the end of the spring semester of the sophomore
year for those students not previously enrolled in military science
instruction. This program is also available for accepted graduate stu-
dents.
Four-Year Program
Consists of attending the freshman and sophomore courses; students can
begin as late as the fall semester of their sophomore year if approved by
the department chair. Enrollment in the first four courses of military sci-
ence is accomplished in the same manner as any other college courses
and carries no military obligation for non-scholarship students.
Application to enroll in the advanced military science courses should be
made while enrolled in Military Science 202. Each student is required to
complete a paid, five-week Advanced Training Camp at Fort Lewis, near
Seattle, Washington, normally after completing Military Science 302, in
their junior year. Transportation, food, lodging, and medical and dental
care are provided in addition to base pay.
US Army ROTC Scholarships
There are significant scholarship opportunities for military science stu-
dents. Scholarships pay up for full tuition, $600 for books, and up to
$4,000 for spending money each year. These scholarships are merit
based and not affected by a parent's total income. Freshmen and sopho-
mores can apply for four-, three- and two-year campus-based full schol-
arships in January. Historically, 85 percent of Edinboro University of
Pennsylvania students who apply are scholarship winners. The
Department of Military Science on an annual basis provides the ROTC
students scholarship availability and criteria.
