The State of Georgia funds 42 scholarships each year to Georgia students that are interested in joining the Georgia Army National Guard and the University of North Georgia Corps of Cadets. This means you can still have a full time job after graduating college while serving part time in the Guard!
Recipients of the University of North Georgia Military Scholarship (UNGMS) are even able to make $30,000 - $40,000 over four years as a Cadet. The scholarship pays for room, meals, tuition, books, uniforms and fees. The total worth of the UNGMS is over $70,000. In recent years, just under 60 qualified and completed applications are received annually.
Army ROTC Scholarships are available nationally to Cadets who participate in a Senior Army ROTC program. This scholarship differs from the UNGMS in what it covers: tuition and fees or room and board, up to $10,000. It is important to realize that both scholarships require service in the U.S. Army after graduation.
Additionally, Cadet Admissions awards Leadership Scholarships to incoming Cadets based on merit and financial need. These scholarships range from $500-$3,000 and are funded by alumni donations to help off-set the cost of college for incoming Cadets. For Georgia residents (not on UNGMS), they are also eligible for the Georgia ROTC and Future Officer Grant ranging from $1,500 to $4,000 a year.
