Reserve Officers’ Training Corps

Support GT ROTC

Georgia Tech’s ROTC cadets and midshipmen commit themselves to lives of service. In return, we are committed to providing an exceptional education that prepares them for leadership in the military and in their future careers. For many students, ROTC makes attending Georgia Tech possible, yet federal ROTC scholarships rarely cover the full cost of tuition, housing, and training. As a result, many cadets balance part-time jobs alongside demanding academic and military responsibilities.

Philanthropic ROTC scholarships reduce these financial pressures so students can focus fully on their training, coursework, and leadership development. Donor support also provides the flexible resources needed to strengthen training opportunities, enhance facilities, and help Georgia Tech’s ROTC programs remain competitive with opportunities offered by peer institutions.

About GT ROTC

Founded in 1917 and housed in the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts, Georgia Tech’s Reserve Officers’ Training Corps is one of the oldest and most respected ROTC programs in the United States. Our units have commissioned generations of distinguished military leaders across the Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Space Force. We proudly count generals, admirals, and Medal of Honor recipients among our alumni.

ROTC offers several full-tuition scholarships that cover tuition, fees, books, and related educational expenses, along with a monthly stipend for cadets and midshipmen. Many ROTC courses are open to all Georgia Tech students, regardless of major.
