Leaders Training Course (LTC)
What
is the Leader’s Training Course? LTC is a 28 day leadership course conducted at
Fort Knox, Kentucky which allows students to:
· Examine
the Army and the officer profession first before deciding to contract into the
AROTC
· Qualify
for entry into Army ROTC Advanced Course starting their junior year (ideal two
years remaining in school to complete your undergrad or graduate degree) if
they did not take ROTC as a freshman and sophomore
· Earn
Army ROTC 2 Year or 2 1/2 Year Scholarship through successfully completing LTC
What is it like? During LTC, the Army observes you and determines your
officer potential in a leadership oriented, challenging, and motivating
four-week training program. You will rappel, solve complex military problems
in small teams, run obstacle courses, shoot rifles, meet other highly
motivated college students from across the nation, and learn more about
yourself than you could imagine. See our LTC Brochure for more information.
LTC is not Army Basic Training or "Boot Camp" but, rather, an opportunity for
the student to evaluate whether the Army is appropriate for them and for the
Army to evaluate the your potential
to become an Army officer.
Students are paid for their travel to and from Fort Knox. They receive a
stipend of $784 in addition to free room and board.
Multi-media resources are available at the WSU Army ROTC Department, 328
Fawcett Hall, providing all the details of this exciting leadership
development course.
What are the opportunities for a scholarship? During previous LTC many students who were eligible to apply for a scholarship received an offer for a two-year scholarship. Scholarships cover
tuition and fees as well as a tiered tax-free monthly stipend starting at
$450.00 for juniors.
How do I go?
Contact the WSU Army ROTC Department immediately if you think you might be
eligible and interested. A military science counselor will advise you on how
you best can prepare yourself and give you the opportunity to apply for a LTC
scholarship if you are interested.
