3. Available Options Active Duty Option (ADO) (2 year program)
Scholarship (2, 3, 4 year program)
Hip Pocket Scholarship (2, 3, 4 year program)
Non-scholarship Option (2 year program)

4. 2-yr Active Duty Option Centralized Selection Board
Remain on active status – maintaining pay, benefits, and allowances
Can use GI bill, no TA authorized
Assigned to Student Detachment at Fort Jackson, SC
Must have 4 semesters/6 quarters remaining toward first Bachelor’s or Master’s degree
Competitive: currently limited to 200 (400) slots per year

5. Scholarship Centralized Selection Board
Soldier is discharged from the Army – forfeits all pay, benefits and allowances
Tuition OR Room and Board
Can use GI Bill/grants/other scholarships
G2G student can use the Post 9/11 GI Bill to pay for tuition at a state school, and then allocate the ROTC scholarship money to Room and Board.
All told, a G2G Scholarship Soldier with 100% Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits gets the following (must serve minimum 3 years active duty to get 100% Post 9/11 GI Bill):
 Post 9/11 GI Bill
-- 100% tuition and fees paid, limited to the most expensive state school you can gain admission to – paid to University
-- $500 a semester for books – paid to G2G Soldier
-- E-5 BAH pay per month in school (~$750) – paid to G2G Soldier
 ROTC scholarship
-- tuition and fees (same as GI Bill only if attending a state school), allocated towards Room and Board
-- $600 a semester for books
-- cadet stipend, $ per month
What an insane deal!!
