Scholarships:
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 North Carolina Tar Heel Battalion provides 2, 3, and 4-year
scholarships that cover the entire cost of tuition and fees. The scholarships
are awarded by merit to the most outstanding students who apply. In addition to
the scholarship, contracted cadets receive between $300-$500 per month stipend
and $1,200 per semester to defray the cost of books.
If you
missed out on the scholarship opportunity in high school, two and three-year
scholarships are often available on campus. If you don't think active duty
following college is right for you, scholarship money is still available
through a Guaranteed Reserve Forces Duty (GRFD) scholarship. This option allows
you to serve in the Army Reserve or National Guard, while holding a regular civilian
job.
In order to
apply for any one of these scholarships or one of the programs listed below, please
contact the Enrollment Officer, MAJ Mike Chagaris at (919) 962-5546 or armyrotcenrollment@unc.edu.
