The U.S. Army Reserve has introduced the Minuteman Campaign, an initiative aimed at providing Guaranteed Reserve Forces Duty (GRFD) scholarships to students seeking higher education. Running from March 15 to June 1, the campaign seeks to identify and support individuals committed to serving in the Army Reserve upon completing their studies. The scholarship program offers substantial financial assistance, covering full tuition and fees or providing $12,000 annually for room and board at eligible institutions with Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs.

Beyond tuition support, the Minuteman Scholarship includes additional benefits such as a monthly stipend, an annual book allowance, and financial incentives for specific career paths. Recipients can also gain practical experience through the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP), allowing them to serve in a Reserve unit while completing their education. These opportunities aim to prepare students for leadership roles in the Army Reserve.
Eligibility for the Minuteman Scholarship is open to U.S. citizens or nationals between the ages of 17 and 28, provided they maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5 and meet the Army’s physical fitness standards. Applicants must also ensure they are under 31 years old by December 31 of their commissioning year.

Army Reserve Ambassador (ARA) Edna Cummings, who endorsed 43 applications—the highest number among all ARAs for the academic year 2024-2025—emphasized the scholarship’s role in developing future leaders. The Army Reserve encourages interested students to apply by the June 1 deadline and visit www.usar.army.mil/MinutemanCampaign for more details.
The Army Reserve underscores that recipients of the Minuteman Scholarship commit to serving in the Army Reserve upon graduation, rather than joining active duty. This pathway offers students both financial support and a structured leadership development program while maintaining their civilian career goals.
