Scholarships and 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 Web site.

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.
