Contracting

What does a scholarship student commit to when they "contract" in Army ROTC? What does the school/ROTC/Army commit to? Is there anywhere that a parent can go to read about this?

There are going to be posters that know a heck of a lot more than I do but this may help: http://armypubs.army.mil/eforms/pdf/A597_3.pdf

The contract to which USMCGrunt posted a link is a legal and binding document. You may also want to peruse Army Regulation 145-1, which deals with ROTC in detail:

One thing I never noticed before is that the 3,4 or 5- year scholarship cadet will incur an obligation to serve active duty and/or reimburse after the first day of the MS2 year. This means that the scholarship cadet may withdraw from the program up to that point without obligation. As others have noted, this appears to be one reason why Cadet Command has reduced the number of 4-year scholarships.

Here is a whole blog article about the contract with links to the scholarship and non scholarship contract

Great information. This was exactly what we needed. Thanks to all for responding.
