[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The scholarship pay 85k x 4 ? What is the catch?[/quote] The scholarship pays tuition and fees, so it’s not $85k. At some schools, room and board is covered by the university. Not sure how common that is, but it was not a policy for any of my kids (3 different universities) As for payback, it can be Active Duty or Reserves. It depends on the needs of each service, students do not always get their preference.[/quote] With tuition alone topping $60,000 per annum at selective universities, a ROTC scholarship is still very significant. A quarter of a million dollars and a good education in exchange for four years of being an officer and all the veterans benefits that accrue from that - from home loans to priority hiring - is not a terrible deal. The unknown, of course, is the state of the world during those four years of active service. [/quote]
