North Carolina Army National Guard and
U.S. Army Reserves with Army ROTC
The National Guard and Reserve option is a great alternative for financial assistance in lieu of a scholarship. In SY 2007-2008 almost 40% of our ECU Cadets were in either the National Guard or Reserves. This option, called the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP), allows you to pursue your education and receive the financial benefits of a National Guard or Reserve Soldier.
Most Army ROTC SMP Cadets in the Reserve have the benefits of the NG without the worry of being deployed.
*Qualified Cadets are those that have completed BASIC (Enlisted Boot Camp) and AIT (Advanced Individual Training). Upon completion of both, Cadets may be granted the benefits of the Montgomery G.I. Bill.
