The Army Reserve 4-Year Minuteman Scholarship

The U.S. Army Reserve Minuteman Scholarship was introduced in 2015 to enhance the Army Reserve's ability to recruit high qualified cadets every year. All qualified applicants for ROTC scholarships may apply for consideration for the 4-year Minuteman Scholarship. Each Army Reserve major subordinate command (MSC) has the ability to award 4 Minuteman Scholarships per year.

The scholarship covers full tuition and fees (uncapped) or $10,000 per year toward room and board at any college or university served by an ROTC program. Scholarship recipients also received a yearly book allowance of $1,200 and a monthly stipend from $300 to $500 while attending school, depending on their year in the ROTC program. Minuteman Scholarship recipients must service in the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP), in which they participate in an Army Reserve unit's monthly drills and a 14-day annual training for which they are paid as a sergeant. After graduation and commissioning, Minuteman Scholarship recipients are guaranteed placement in the Army Reserve.
