SCHOLARSHIP BENEFITS
Recipients of these scholarships will receive financial assistance for 2-years in their pursuit of an Associates degree from Marion Military Institute and a commission in the U.S. Army. Individuals continue on to a baccalaureate degree without benefits. During the two-year duration of the scholarship the Army will pay college tuition and educational fees, or room and board, whichever is chosen by the student. Additionally, a flat rate of $1,200 per year is provided to purchase textbooks, classroom supplies and equipment . Army ROTC scholarship winners also receive a monthly tax-free subsistence allowance for 20 months. The monthly amount will be tiered commensurate with the Military Science Class -- MS3 = $450 per month; MS4 = $500 per month. Cadets will be commissioned in the USAR and assigned to a Troop Program Unit (TPU) (paragraph 2-16, AR 140-10) upon graduation from MMI provided all eligibility requirements are met.
