The Mercer University ROTC unit was activated in 1947. Today, the program commissions officers into one of the 15 basic U.S. Army branches and into the active Army, U.S. Army Reserve and the Army National Guard. With military science instruction and associated activities, ROTC courses, open to all students as electives and without obligation, aim to develop leadership and managerial potential, provide an understanding of the requirements and organization for national security and instill a strong sense of personal integrity and individual responsibility.
Students may apply for a wide variety of Army ROTC scholarships, including two-, three-, and four-year scholarships. All Army ROTC scholarships currently pay full tuition annually for tuition and fees, $1200 annually for books, and an annual stipend of $300–$500 per month for up to 10 months. Additionally, Mercer University provides free room and board for scholarship recipients.
Number of ROTC Students: 52
