Benefits for Guardsmen
The Ohio Army National Guard is a community based part-time organization funded by State and Federal governments. The Guard stands ready to help in the event of state or local emergencies, as well as having the ability to defend America against foreign aggressors. For many young men and women, the Guard can be a very rewarding experience. It offers personal development, travel and the opportunity to "put something back" into our local communities and the state of Ohio. The Guard is also very financially rewarding. While attending college, the Guard pays students a monthly paycheck. This money goes directly to the student to use as he or she desires. Now, Guardsmen can also receive up to 100% of their college tuition paid at State supported colleges. See your local representatives for details.
Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP)
The ROTC-SMP allows you to be a full-time college student working toward an academic degree and participating in both the Army National Guard and the ROTC program.

Also, you can earn a stipend per month as a Contracted Cadet in the ROTC course; gain tuition assistance and great leadershp skills through this program.
Scholarships
3-year and 2-year National Guard Scholarships are available through the Army ROTC department. The scholarship pays for tuition and fees, most books, plus a monthly living allowance. Eligible Army ROTC cadets can apply for these scholarships during freshmen and sophomore years.
