Additionally, ROTC financial aid programs are added to any existing entitlement to GI Bill Benefits or Veterans Educational Assistance Program payments. Other attractive financial benefits can be added to all of this by simultaneous participation in Army Reserve or National Guard. Contact the Military Science Department for advice and assistance. FINANCIAL AID All students enrolled in Upper Division courses who meet ROTC student contract conditions receive $1000.00 per school year, tax free. Education: Criminal Justice agencies in the recent past have established advanced academic standards. Education is becoming a more meaningful factor in selection of law enforcement personnel for initial employment, promotion and for administrative roles. Employment Outlook: The demand for criminal justice personnel with academic qualifications in this relatively recent area of interest is increasing. National standards and goals have been formulated with defined minimum qualifications. Opportunities for employment within the criminal justice field are excellent.
