Texas A&M Army ROTC Information Video

Texas A&M Army ROTC Mission is to commission officers and leaders of character who are agile and adaptive, possess critical think and problem solving skills, are able to assess and analyze information and demonstrate the initiative to operate in uncertain environments and deliver results
The Army ROTC (AROTC) program at Texas A&M University is the oldest on campus. AROTC cadets are proud contributors to the heritage of the “Fightin’ Texas Aggies” also known as the “Warrior Battalion.” AROTC cadets are integrated in the Corps of Cadets and are leaders in a wide variety of university activities including Student Government, campus athletics, the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band Ross Volunteer Company, Rudder’s Rangers, and Parsons Mounted Calvary. Members of the Army ROTC Ranger Challenge Team are selected from the student organization’s Rudder’s Rangers. The Ranger Challenge team is a perennial contender at both Regional and National levels, finishing in the top five at the Sandhurst competition hosted by the US Military Academy at West Point, New York in consecutive years.

The Army offers a diverse career field to match a student’s education and interests, with no restrictions on the major field of study or discipline with the exception of General Studies. The AROTC student may enter Army career fields such as engineering, military intelligence, communications, cyber, logistics, finance, personnel administration, medical services, transportation, aviation, law enforcement, artillery, armor or infantry. Engineering students are eligible to participate in the University’s chapter of the Society of American Military Engineers.
Highly qualified applicants may compete to take part in the delayed entry program while pursuing medical or law degrees and selected cadets may attend specialty military training including Airborne, Air Assault, Cold Weather Operations Course, Jungle Warfare Course, Combat Diver Qualification Course, and Basic Mountaineering.
CURRICULUM
AROTC classes are unique in the college curriculum in offering both classroom instruction and hands-on leadership development opportunities. AROTC is divided into two parts: The Basic and Advanced Courses. The Basic Course (MLSC 100-200 series) is taken during freshman and sophomore years.
There is NO military service obligation for participation in the Basic Course. Coursework covers the areas of military customs, leadership fundamentals, fire team maneuver, map reading, marksmanship and land navigation. Students develop and refine their leadership by participating in weekly tactical leadership labs and field training exercises.

STIPENDS
All cadets in the AROTC program and who have entered into a commissioning contract receive a subsistence allowance of $420 per month. AROTC cadets are encouraged to take courses in strategic languages.
Qualified students who join the Army National Guard or Army Reserve, may participate in the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP) in which they earn approximately $250 per month. The total dollar amount for SMP cadets can reach $750 per month during their junior and senior years in ROTC.
SCHOLARSHIPS
The AROTC Scholarship program awards four-year and three-year advance designee scholarships on a competitive basis to students entering AROTC as college freshmen. Two-year, three-year, and 3.5 year scholarships also are available for college students already enrolled in AROTC. These scholarships pay the cost of tuition and required fees or room and board. Also included is a flat rate textbook allowance for the duration of the award. In all, a four-year scholarship can be worth over $75,000 at Texas A&M. Additional scholarship opportunities are available specifically for students participating in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math majors that pay the same benefits as four and three-year Army ROTC scholarships.
We are looking for well round Scholars, Athletes, and Leaders who are determined to succeed in school, in life, and in the Army.
At Texas A&M Army ROTC, we provided more scholarships than other services, roughly we commissioned 100 new Army officers each Year. Top cadets received 95% chance of getting the top three career branches of their choice. Most of our cadets received their #1 branch choice with a high rate of success at 89%.
