Summer programs: Students may also qualify through a paid, five-
week, summer training session held at Fort Knox, Kentucky, which
provides intensive military training equivalent to the instruction
received by freshmen and sophomores in the basic course program.

Advanced placement: Students with any prior military service,
members of the United States Army Reserves or National Guard, or
former Junior ROTC members may qualify for advanced placement

Two-Year Program
Available to qualified full-time students (generally having a minimum of
two academic years remaining to degree completion) who meet the cri-
teria set forth in items two or three above. Application for this program
should be made prior to the end of the spring semester of the sophomore
year for those students not previously enrolled in military science
instruction. This program is also available for accepted graduate stu-
dents.
Four-Year Program
Consists of attending the freshman and sophomore courses; students can
begin as late as the fall semester of their sophomore year if approved by
the department chair. Enrollment in the first four courses of military sci-
ence is accomplished in the same manner as any other college courses
and carries no military obligation for non-scholarship students.
Application to enroll in the advanced military science courses should be
made while enrolled in Military Science 202. Each student is required to
complete a paid, five-week Advanced Training Camp at Fort Lewis, near
Seattle, Washington, normally after completing Military Science 302, in
their junior year. Transportation, food, lodging, and medical and dental
care are provided in addition to base pay of about $800.
US Army ROTC Scholarships
There are significant scholarship opportunities for military science stu-
dents. Scholarships pay up for full tuition and fees, $900 for books, and
up to $5,000 for spending money each year. These scholarships are merit
based and not affected by a parent's total income. Freshmen and sopho-
mores can apply for four-, three- and two-year campus-based full schol-
arships in January. Historically, 85 percent of Edinboro University of
Pennsylvania students who apply are scholarship winners. The
Department of Military Science on an annual basis provides the ROTC
students scholarship availability and criteria. All scholarship winners
will receive a monthly tax-free subsistence allowance. Freshmen receive
$300, sophomores $350, juniors $450 and seniors $500 monthly while
enrolled as full-time students.

Academic Advising
Students who are undeclared, students who are enrolled in the B.A. in
Specialized Studies, and students who have extraordinary advising needs
frequently seek assistance from the department's faculty for academic
advising services. These services range from basic course selection,
drop/add assistance, and understanding academic policies and proce-
dures to more complex situations, such as reducing academic load,
exploring the pursuit of dual degrees (concurrently) and minors, and
identifying a suitable program after the student has been advised to con-
sider another major or denied access to their preferred major.
Services also include providing resources to the faculty and academic
departments regarding advising issues. Academic advising personnel are
available to faculty for consultation on individual student and program-
