Since 1919, Davidson College’s ROTC Program has been commissioning Second Lieutenants into the United States Army. Today, as a partnership with UNC-Charlotte’s Army ROTC Battalion, Davidson College continues to commission officers into the Active Army, National Guard and Army Reserves. 
- Army ROTC Scholarships pay Full Tuition & mandatory fees, $600 a semester for Books/Supplies, and also provides a tax-free monthly stipend starting at $300 per month for personal expenses. The stipend increases to $350 for Sophomores, $450 for Juniors and $500 for Seniors. Additionally, Davidson College kicks in 50% Room & Board for all Army ROTC Scholarship recipients.
- High School Seniors have until January 10th to apply for an Army ROTC 4-year Scholarship online at www.goarmy.com/rotc. Students interested in attending Davidson College should apply by November 15th for early decision.
- On-campus students can compete for Campus-Based, Guaranteed Reserve Forces Duty (GRFD), and Leaders Training Course (LTC) scholarships, but must be enrolled in an Army ROTC class to do so. There are also Language Scholarships if you are interested in pursuing a Major in Arabic, Russian or Chinese-Mandarin.
- The Army ROTC program is a partner with all the Davidson Athletic programs. The Senior Military Science Instructor maintains communication with all college coaches to make sure requirements are met for both the Army ROTC and Athletic programs.
- Once contracted, Davidson cadets can take Arabic, Chinese-Mandarin, or Russian foreign language classes and get paid $250 per credit hour, every semester.

- Army ROTC is open to all Ethnic Backgrounds, but must be a US citizen to commission.
- Try it out….there is no military obligation for taking any of the Freshmen or Sophomore Army ROTC classes and leadership labs. Accepting a scholarship does incur a military obligation.
- All Majors offered at Davidson College are accepted toward a military commission. The Army offers 17 different career fields to choose from upon commissioning.
- A brand new Second Lieutenant going into the United States Army will start out making over $52,000. In 18 months, promotion to First Lieutenant pushes the annual salary up over $66,000. Promotion to Captain, after 36 months, increases the annual salary up over $79,000.
- Studying abroad is highly encouraged while in the Army ROTC program, and is typically done during the Sophomore year.
