ROTC

The Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) is a college program that exchanges a paid college education and a guaranteed post-college career, for a commitment to serve in the military after graduation.

BW's commitment is to provide a scholarship to assist with room and meal costs for semesters in which the full-time student is an active participant in the ROTC training program. Annual amounts grow from $2,500 (in their first year) to $10,000 by their senior year (with half the annual amount being applied in the fall/spring). If the student receives a ROTC scholarship from the school in which the student is participating in ROTC, then any 蘑菇TV下载merit awards that may have been awarded, would now become "honorary" awards, in name only.
