I was wondering if you went through the ROTC program at any one of these colleges if you had to pay the tuition? Thanks in advance

Sadly- yes , unless you receive an ROTC scholarship you will have to pay tuition at VMI which is fairly steep if you are an out of state Cadet. I wish I could say that was not the case as money is a consideration for most of us. If things are really tight yet you are really interested in pursuing a military college experience, I believe that at Texas A&M , all members of the Cadet Corps receive in-state tuition which is a pretty good deal. Similarly, the Maritime colleges- (or at least Mass and New York) have agreements with a number of other states to provide in state or in region (reduced) tuition for members of the regiment.I was wondering if you went through the ROTC program at any one of these colleges if you had to pay the tuition?

Yes,
You will still have to pay for room and board though, which is more than tuition at VMI.
yes"Off setting that: tuition, books, uniform fees and most other fees are covered by the Army plus your monthly stipend, and a travel reimbursement - so you are in pretty good shape"
So if I get a four year AROTC scholarship I will not have to pay for tuition? I do not live in Virginia. Thanks
