Requirements

This program is open to enlisted soldiers who have served at least 2 but less than 10 years on active duty and have also completed at least 2 years of college so they can complete a bachelor's or master's degree within 21 months.

Applicants must have a cumulative high school or college GPA of 2.5 or higher, a General Technical (GT) score of 110 or higher, and a recent (within the past 6 months) Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) score of 180 or higher (including 60 points in each event).

They must be under 30 years of age when they graduate.

Soldiers who participate in this program remain on active duty while they attend a college or university that has an Army ROTC unit on campus.

While in college, participants must successfully complete the prescribed military science classes, professional military education subjects, the Leader Development and Assessment Course (normally between their junior and senior years), and any other requirements for commissioning. Upon graduation, they are commissioned as second lieutenants and are required to serve in the military for 8 years. That obligation may be fulfilled by serving 3 years on active duty and 5 years in the Army National Guard (ARNG), the United States Army Reserve (USAR), or the Inactive Ready Reserve (IRR).
