What Â鶹ÊÓƵ Offers

Â鶹ÊÓƵ is proud to partner with the Army ROTC detachment at Capital University, providing our students the opportunity to train to become officers in the United States Army. Â鶹ÊÓƵ students participate in the required classes and training at Capital, all while benefiting from the Â鶹ÊÓƵ academic and student experience.

The Application

Students interested in Army ROTC should apply to Â鶹ÊÓƵ through the normal admission process. There are no additional application requirements at Â鶹ÊÓƵ for students interested in Army ROTC. Students should contact the Army ROTC detachment at Capital University regarding the process for participation and scholarships with Army ROTC.

Financial Aid Process

For students who earn an Army ROTC scholarship for the detachment at Capital University, Â鶹ÊÓƵ is committed to providing grant aid so the student’s entire comprehensive fee at Â鶹ÊÓƵ is covered while receiving the Army ROTC scholarship. This includes Â鶹ÊÓƵ tuition, as well as standard housing and meals.

For three-year scholarship recipients in their first year at Â鶹ÊÓƵ, Â鶹ÊÓƵ uses the same financial aid process that it uses for all admitted students. Army ROTC students receive a Â鶹ÊÓƵ grant to pay for the required Army ROTC first-year courses through Capital.

During the second, third, and fourth years, their initial financial aid and scholarship package is forfeited and replaced by an Army scholarship equal to the cost of Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s tuition. Additionally, during the three scholarship years, Â鶹ÊÓƵ provides sufficient grant aid to ensure that their entire comprehensive fee at Â鶹ÊÓƵ (i.e., tuition, plus standard housing, and meals) are covered with scholarships and grants.

Students are required to take classes and instruction at Capital University. All students are able to have cars on Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s campus. However, if students participating in the ROTC program do not have their own means of transportation, they are able to reserve Â鶹ÊÓƵ vans to drive to Capital. A valid driver’s license and completion of an on-campus driver’s test are required before reserving a vehicle. Please contact Campus Safety if you have questions about the van rental process at Â鶹ÊÓƵ.
