Marquette is honored to be a host institution for the Air Force, Army and Navy/Marine ROTC programs. Marquette has a longstanding affiliation with the U.S. armed forces.
Beginning as early as 1916 and solidifying in the late 1930s and early '40s, Marquette ROTC students have learned to lead with their heads and their hearts. The leadership skills instilled by ROTC are further enhanced by the university's commitment to educating the whole person: physically, mentally and spiritually. Together, we shape morally fit leaders aware of their environment with a healthy respect for others.
Scholarship enhancement awards are given to ROTC scholarship recipients. For more information, contact Marquette's Air Force, Army or Navy ROTC units.
For additional program details about this award, review the applicable Award Information Guide, available from the Office of Student Financial Aid.
*Air Force ROTC Type 2 scholarship recipients are never eligible for a Marquette ROTC Enhancement. Their ROTC scholarship is not full tuition and they receive their P猫re Marquette eligibility. Air Force ROTC Type 2 scholarship recipients cannot exceed Marquette tuition charges with the combination of their Type 2 ROTC scholarship and their P猫re Marquette scholarship. Students are not eligible for Marquette grants or other Marquette gift assistance.
**Army ROTC three-year scholarship winners will receive their full $28,000 Marquette ROTC Enhancement eligibility for their first year for tuition costs, divided evenly per semester superseding any other Marquette gift assistance.
All other ROTC scholarship recipients will receive the $28,000 maximum gift assistance from Marquette over their four-year undergraduate studies for university housing and meal charges. This means the ROTC Enhancement will be $28,000 minus any other Marquette gift assistance previously received, divided equally among the remaining terms of enrollment (not to exceed $3,500 per semester and not to exceed the actual housing and meal costs). If the total per semester enhancement eligibility is not used in a given semester, unused portions are not available in other semesters.
What happens if I leave the ROTC program?
If you leave the ROTC program, your ROTC Enhancement will no longer be in effect. Your original P猫re Marquette scholarships (if any) will be restored for the remainder of the term that your ROTC scholarship is no longer in effect (until your eighth semester), provided you maintain the requirements of the original scholarship.
Marquette is consistently recognized as a best value in national media such as U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review. But there鈥檚 more to a Marquette education beyond a great return on your investment. As a Catholic, Jesuit university, we measure success in the hearts and minds of our students, seeking to engage in them a mindset that looks beyond themselves and toward the benefit of others. Men and women for and with others, as we say in our mission, who go into the world ready to Be The Difference.
