Scholarships & Awards 

Qualified cadets receive full-tuition and fees.  A prospective student can be awarded a scholarship for tuition, stipend, and book fees worth up to $160,000 over the course of a four year college career. The University of Richmond Spider Battalion provides two through four-year scholarships that cover the entire cost of tuition and fees at the host and partnership schools. In addition to the scholarship, contracted cadets receive a stipend of between $300 and $500 a month, and $1200 per year, to defray the cost of books. Additional information on the four-year scholarship, as well as the application, is available on the Army ROTC website.

The University of Richmond also provides additional financial support to our cadets:

Satterwhite
$23,000 worth of merit room/board scholarships per year

Ferguson
$7,000 worth of merit room/board scholarships per year

Longwood University also provides room and board scholarships totaling $25,000 per year.

If you missed out on the scholarship opportunity in high school, on campus scholarships are available for students currently enrolled in college. If you don't think active duty following college is right for you, scholarship money is also available through a Guaranteed Reserve Forces Duty (GRFD) path to commissioning. This option allows you to serve in the Army Reserve or National Guard, while holding a regular civilian job.
