THE CORPS OF CADETS
Tradition of Leadership…Pursuit of Excellence
Established in 1902
Army ROTC is an elective curriculum you take along with your required college classes. It prepares you with the tools, training and experiences that will help you succeed in any competitive environment. Along with great leadership training, Army ROTC can pay for your college tuition, too. You will have a normal college student experience like everyone else on campus, but when you graduate, you will be an Officer in the Army.
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN ARMY OFFICER
Being an Officer in the U.S. Army means you’re a leader, a counselor, a strategist and a motivator. It’s similar to being a vital manager in a corporation. As an Officer, you will lead other Soldiers in all situations and adjust in environments that are always changing. They are driven to achieve success with their team on every mission.
ARMY ROTC BENEFITS
Army ROTC is one of the Nation’s top leadership programs, with many benefits to joining. Through Army ROTC you can:
- Get help with your college tuition with an Army ROTC scholarship
- Gain experience you can’t find anywhere else
- Gain the respect of your peers and future employers
- Train to become a leader and manager
ARMY ROTC SCHOLARSHIPS
Whether you’re a college-bound high school student or already attending a college or university, Army ROTC has scholarships available. Scholarships are awarded based on a student’s merit and grades, not financial need.
Army ROTC scholarships are valuable in many ways:
- Two, three, and four year scholarship options based on the time remaining to complete your degree
- Full-tuition Scholarships
- Additional allowances pay for books and fees
LIVING EXPENSES
Army ROTC scholarships also provide monthly living allowances for each school year. You can earn certain amounts depending on your level in the ARMY ROTC curriculum:
1st year - $300 per month
2nd year - $350 per month
3rd year - $450 per month
4th year - $500 per month
CADET LIFESTYLE
Housing - The cadet residence hall is Trinity Hall. However, as long as you do not have a housing scholarship, you can stay anywhere you want to, on or off-campus. The intent is for the cadets to participate in a common-interest group that fosters peer counselors and mentorship, not only in the military arena but also in the academic environment. The dorms are controlled by the university housing division not the military cadre. There are no inspections, yet cadets are entrusted in maintaining their own discipline, professional courtesy, and honor code. Military cadre only gets involved if requested by the university housing division.
Physical Fitness - PT is conducted Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 0600 to 0700 at the Maverick Stadium. PT is mandatory for all contracted and scholarship cadets, including the housing scholarships, yet all cadets are encouraged to attend. For more information refer to the physical fitness web page.
Military Science Class - Classes are once a week for freshman and sophomores and twice a week for juniors and seniors. For more information refer to the Curriculum web page.
Leadership Lab - The leadership lab is conducted every Thursday from 1400 to 1700 hours. Labs are planned and executed by the cadet officers under the supervision of the cadre. Every lab stresses the use of the cadet chain of command and includes training like land navigation, squad tactics, combat water survival training, and troop leading procedures.
Field Training Exercises - Every semester cadets participate in a 3-day field training exercise. Depending on the location you can expect to participate in day and night land-navigation, obstacle course, quick-reaction drills, garrison operations training, a rucksack march and conclude with a live fire exercise with the M-16 or M-4 Army rifle.
Social Events - Not everything is tactical. We strive to develop the whole person concept and participate in various social functions throughout the year in which cadets wear their class A uniform and interact with alumni, university officials, VIPs, and each other on a social setting. See the social events web page for more information.
Cadet Teams - The Corps of Cadets has 6 extracurricular teams. They are: Color Guard, Sam Houston Rifles, Ranger Challenge, Carlisle Cannons, I am a Maverick, and the Honor Guard. Membership is completely voluntary, but if your grades begin to suffer, the PMS or Commandant will suspend you from the team until your grades improve. See the Cadet Teams web page for more information.
