Concordia offers ROTC opportunities for Army
Army—Leadership That Lasts a Lifetime

Army ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) is an elective curriculum you take along with your required Concordia program of study. It provides you the tools, training, and experiences that will help you succeed in any competitive environment. Along with great leadership training, Army ROTC can pay for your college tuition. Because Army ROTC is an elective, you can participate your freshman and sophomore years without any obligation to join the Army. You will have a normal college student experience like everyone else on campus, but when you graduate, you will be commissioned as an Officer in the Army.

The Army ROTC program started on the Concordia College-Selma campus in fall, 2009. It is a collaborative effort with ROTC programs at Marion Military Institute and Judson College.

Heading the program is LTC. Nicolas Britto, Assistant Professor of Military Science. Working with the commander is SFC Juan Carter, Senior Military Instructor Military Science

Army ROTC is one of the best leadership courses in the country and is part of our college curriculum. During classes, leadership labs, physical training and field training exercises, students will learn firsthand what it takes to lead others, motivate groups and conduct missions as an Officer in the Army. Upon graduation from Army ROTC, students earn the bar of a Second Lieutenant and be commissioned into the Active Army, Army Reserve or Army National Guard and become a leader for life.

Scholarships and stipends in Army ROTC help you focus on what's important. Namely, getting that college degree — not how you'll pay for it.

Army ROTC Scholarships

Whether you're a college-bound high school student or already attending a college or university, Army ROTC has scholarships available. Scholarships are awarded based on a student's merit and grades, not financial need.

Army ROTC scholarships consist of:

· Two-, three-, and four-year scholarship options based on the time remaining to complete your degree

· Full-tuition scholarships

· The option for room and board in place of tuition, if you should qualify

· Additional allowances for books and fees

Living Expenses

Army ROTC scholarships also provide monthly living allowances for each school year. You can earn certain amounts depending on your level in the Army ROTC curriculum:

· 1st year, $300 per month

· 2nd year, $350 per month

· 3rd year, $450 per month

· 4th year, $500 per month

This allowance is also available to all non-scholarship Cadets enrolled in the Army ROTC Advanced Course (3rd and 4th years).
