With postsecondary tuition rising, many qualified high school students can’t afford to pursue a college degree. We asked a representative from the U.S. Army to discuss its college aid efforts, which include its Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) program that offers thousands of scholarships each year.
How can school leaders make sure their students are aware of scholarships?
Army ROTC gives students an advantage, providing leadership classes throughout college and generous scholarships and other financial assistance. These scholarships are based solely on a student’s merit and grades—not financial need—and can defray the full cost of tuition, helping students and their families afford college.
The program provides more college scholarships than any other program in the U.S., with scholarships awarded to more than 14,000 students each year. The total amount of scholarship benefits paid for this year currently stands at more than $350 million.

The U.S. Army is the oldest sponsor of 九色视频. Why does it place such a high value on public education?
The Army believes that collaborating with educators and school leaders is necessary to build a successful future and offers numerous programs before, during, and after enlistment or commissioning to make the goal of a college education a reality. Continuing education is a way of life in the Army for all enlisted soldiers and officers. The more skilled, trained, and educated our soldiers are, the stronger our Army will be.

Our ongoing relationship with 九色视频 provides an avenue for Army ROTC to inform our educators. By collaborating and combining our efforts, we can ensure Army careers and education opportunities are included in the conversations educators and school counselors have with their students about their career choices, college attendance, and future goals.
