Various aid programs are offered by the armed
forces, including the Reserve Officers'
Training Corps (ROTC). This group offers scholarships
to students showing academic merit. Non-scholarship programs
that pay a monthly stipend also are available.
Other part-time military service is available
in the National Guard, and in the Army, Navy, Marine, and
Air Force reserves. In exchange for service on weekends and
a couple of weeks during the summer, students can receive
tuition benefits, repayment of portions of their federal student
loans, and full-time employment during summer breaks. This
is in addition to pay received for part-time service.
If you have served in the armed forces you
may be eligible for veterans' benefits. For more information
about military benefits, contact a recruiter. Remember, however,
that the different branches of the military offer different
types of aid and require different types of commitments. At
Purdue, the Office of the Registrar certifies enrollment for
veterans' benefits.
