Military Scholarships

Air Force ROTC scholarship options are available for high school students, college students and enlisted airmen. 

High school students should apply for the High School Scholarship Program as early as possible in the fall semester of their senior year. Be sure to review the scholarship requirements to determine eligibility.

College students currently enrolled in a full-time schedule are also eligible and should review all college scholarship options, specifically the General Charles McGee Leadership Award. This award applies to all juniors and seniors competitively selected to enter the last two years of the program and subsequently commissioned as Air Force and Space Force officers.

For additional questions regarding these scholarships, please refer to AFROTC scholarships and select your appropriate group.

This scholarship is for current high school juniors and seniors planning on attending a four-year university. You could receive a full four-year scholarship or a three-year Advanced Designee scholarship to the college of your choice. If you don't receive the national scholarship, you can still sign up for MSL-101N your freshman year and compete for a campus-based scholarship.

Are you already enlisted in the National Guard or the Army Reserve? Through the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP), you can do Army ROTC at the same time and commission as a second lieutenant.

Beginning in Fall 2023, all new students who participate in ROTC will receive the Non-Contracted Cadet Housing scholarship of $750. Eligible students must opt in for on-campus housing, be a noncontracted (no obligation to military) student and not be a recipient of a GCU Select Scholarship.

Scholarships are also available if you are interested in the Army Reserves or National Guard. Get more information about ROTC benefits and commitment to see if this opportunity is right for you.^{(See disclaimer 3)}
