What is the Minuteman campaign?
The Minuteman is a Guaranteed Reserve Forces Duty (GRFD) scholarship that provides full in-state tuition and fees, or up to $10,000 room and board between 2-4 years for eligible candidates. The Minuteman scholarship guarantees the candidate will commission into the USAR upon graduation with an eight-year service obligation.
If you are a high school senior interested in receiving an Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) scholarship and commissioning into the Army Reserve, the GRFD Scholarship Minuteman Campaign provides you an excellent opportunity.
The Minuteman campaign offers two types of 4 year scholarships.
- 4-year scholarship may only be awarded to incoming college freshmen attending a host ROTC program or a public university at resident rates.
- 3-year awarded to an incoming college sophomore that pays the last 3 years of benefits provided the applicant successfully meets the requirements to contract.
- 2-year awarded to an incoming college junior or graduate student that pays the last 2 years of benefits provided the applicant successfully meets the requirements to contract.
Scholarship recipients also receive a monthly stipend of $420, and a yearly book allowance of $1,200. In addition, Minuteman recipients participate in the Simultaneous Membership Program, which gives them experience with an Army Reserve unit while earning additional money for their service.
To get started, high school seniors should contact the Professor of Military Science or Recruiting Operations Officer at the Army ROTC program that serves their college or university. There are 275 host programs that cover nearly 3,000 schools across the United States.
If you are currently enrolled in an ROTC program without a scholarship, please contact your ROTC program for a campus-based GRFD scholarship.
