What Denison Offers
Denison is proud to partner with the Army ROTC detachment at Capital University, providing our students the opportunity to train to become officers in the United States Army. Denison students participate in the required classes and training at Capital, all while benefiting from the Denison academic and student experience.
The Application
Students interested in Army ROTC should apply to Denison through the normal admission process. There are no additional application requirements at Denison for students interested in Army ROTC. Students should contact the Army ROTC detachment at Capital University regarding the process for participation and scholarships with Army ROTC.
Financial Aid Process
For students who earn an Army ROTC scholarship for the detachment at Capital University, Denison is committed to providing grant aid so the student’s entire comprehensive fee at Denison is covered while receiving the Army ROTC scholarship. This includes Denison tuition, as well as standard housing and meals.
For three-year scholarship recipients in their first year at Denison, Denison uses the same financial aid process that it uses for all admitted students. Army ROTC students receive a Denison grant to pay for the required Army ROTC first-year courses through Capital.
During the second, third, and fourth years, their initial financial aid and scholarship package is forfeited and replaced by an Army scholarship equal to the cost of Denison’s tuition. Additionally, during the three scholarship years, Denison provides sufficient grant aid to ensure that their entire comprehensive fee at Denison (i.e., tuition, plus standard housing, and meals) are covered with scholarships and grants.
Students are required to take classes and do instruction at Capital University, do you offer transportation?
Students are able to reserve Denison vans to drive to Capital. Students are required to have a valid driver’s license and take an on-campus driver’s test before reserving a vehicle. Please contact Campus Safety if you have questions about the van rental process at Denison. Additionally, all students are able to have cars on Denison’s campus.
