We also have three-year and two-year ROTC scholarships available to students already on campus. The applications for these scholarships are available at the Department of Military Science located on the Tarleton State University - Central Texas campus.

Scholarship cadets, in addition to their normal studies, take prescribed military science courses, participate in scheduled leadership labs, and attend the Leadership Development Assessment Course between their Junior and Senior years.
Graduate students also have a new and exciting way to fund their master’s degree under the New Army Masters Degree Scholarship Program.

Tarleton Army ROTC works closely with prior service soldiers through the Army Green to Gold program. This program is designed to offer Enlisted Soldiers in the Army the opportunity to earn a commission as an Army Officer. The Texan Battalion has many combat veterans currently participating in the program through Green to Gold.
