Walk-On Scholarships

Already enrolled in college? 

The University of Richmond ROTC program provides you with the tools to become an Army Officer without interfering with your other classes.  Students currently enrolled at UR or one of our participating universities can start by registering for a Military Science and Leadership basic elective course.

Students who enter the program as sophomores, juniors, or graduate students attend the Leader's Training Course for four weeks during the summer at Fort Knox, Kentucky, in lieu of the first two years of military science classes.

Campus Based Scholarships
The Spider Battalion provides a range of two, three, or four-year scholarship options for full time undergraduate students.  Two year scholarships are available for graduate students.  Cadets must take and pass the Army Physical Fitness Test and meet Height/Weight Standards and posses a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 in order to be contracted.

Scholarships cover the entire cost of either tuition and fees or room and board.  Contracted cadets also receive a stipend of between $300 and $500 a month and an additional $1200 per year to defray the cost of books. 

For more information contact us or stop by the Spider Battalion Main Office at the Millhiser Gym Building.
