In this program, a student is in the National Guard or Reserves while
simultaneously enrolled in ROTC classes. Beginning the sophomore year,
you can make a commitment to become and Army Officer and earn nearly
$1,200 per month. This is dependent on which service (National Guard or
Reserves) you choose and what benefits you are entitled to.
For the duration that you are in college you will be assigned to a
unit and conduct an internship as an Officer. The benefit of this is
overwhelming because you will obtain leadership experience at an actual Army unit, and have the opportunity for your tuition/school to be paid. Upon graduating
from Murray State University, you can serve on Active Duty or you can
stay in the Reserve Component that you were in as a "SMP Cadet".
There are so many possibilities and options with SMP that you must
contact the ROTC Scholarship and Enrollment Officer to see what is best
for YOU. Please call (270) 809-5064 or email jeremy.ballard@murraystate.edu
