Corps Scholarships

The Corps of Cadets offers scholarships ranging in value from $1,000 - $20,000 that carry no military obligation.

Corps scholarships are both need and merit based, with the majority reserved for students entering the Corps as freshmen cadets. In addition, most Corps scholarships qualify non-Texas residents for a non-resident tuition waiver.
