Most families guess their way through ROTC scholarships. The board notices.
An ROTC scholarship covers tuition, fees, a monthly stipend, and a book allowance for four years. At many universities, that is worth over $100,000. Retired officers coach your student through every step of building a competitive scholarship file.

The ROTC Scholarship Blueprint.
A paid, officer-led evaluation. In one hour, LTC Kirkland assesses where your student stands for ROTC scholarship competitiveness and identifies what must improve.
Families leave with a clear action plan whether or not they continue with coaching.
The Scholarship Track and Interview Preparation are available after the Blueprint.
Officer-led strategy across all three commissioning paths.
Every part of the file is coached by the retired officer who lived that side of it, never a generalist and never a group.

Scholarships won, in their own words.
Your support was absolutely critical in helping our son navigate the scholarship process. He earned scholarships from both Army and Navy ROTC, ultimately accepting the Marine Corps Option. We could not have done it without your guidance.
Working with ROTC Consulting was the best choice for us. The Blueprint gave us a clear picture of where our daughter stood, and The Scholarship Track kept her on track through every step. She earned a 4-year Air Force ROTC scholarship.
Your service wasn’t just helpful; it was transformational. Our son went from not knowing where to start to earning a 4-year Army ROTC scholarship. The interview preparation alone was worth every penny.
THANK YOU for your support! You can see that you and Maj Robinson made the difference.
I wanted to thank you for all your help through the academy and ROTC application process. You were amazing and made it so smooth and as easy as the arduous process can be.
Many thanks to you for all your kind help today. For the first time, the path forward along with the potential risks and challenges is clear.
