ROTC
ARMY
Army ROTC is available to Morehouse students through a cooperative agreement with the Department of the Army and Georgia Institute of Technology.
Students may enroll in Army ROTC without incurring a military service obligation. First-year and sophomore students may compete for three- and two-year scholarships, respectively. The Army ROTC scholarship pays tuition, fees and a modest book and monthly tax-free allowance.
NAVY
The Atlanta Region Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) Unit is comprised of two jointly commanded battalions and is sponsored by Morehouse College and Georgia Institute of Technology. Morehouse is the host for the Morehouse NROTC Unit; however, students attending Spelman College and Clark Atlanta University are participating members of the NROTC Unit. The commanding officer, executive officer, marine officer instructor, and assistant marine officer instructor preside over the operations and administrations of the NROTC Unit. Additionally, several active duty Navy and civilian personnel support the daily operations of the NROTC Unit.
To obtain a NROTC scholarship, interested students must gain approval to attend Morehouse College, Spelman College or Clark Atlanta University. Students must score a minimum 530 verbal and 520 math, with a composite score of no less than 1050 on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). The minimum acceptance scores for the American College Test (ACT) are 22 math and 22 verbal for a combined score of 44. Students are required to submit a high school transcript for academic performance evaluation and SAT/ACT scores to the NROTC Unit. All scholarship applicants will be interviewed by the NROTC Unit Commanding Officer to determine if applicants are qualified candidates. If a student meets all scholarship requirements and is offered a scholarship, the student must first complete and pass a comprehensive medical examination. NROTC scholarship monies will not be disbursed until applicants have successfully passed the medical examination.
The NROTC Unit provides and supports academic and individual growth. It is our goal to not only instill leadership abilities in the individual, but also to cultivate a deep sense of pride and promote continuous self-improvement for all midshipmen.
