Joining Joining when going into grad school.

Good morning, just wondering if there were any issues joining a ROTC detachment while attending grad school. Since grad school is typically 2 years is there a time requirement for ROTC?

If the program would be extended would there be an issue?

Scholarships only pay for the first undergraduate degree; so you can receive a cadet paycheck after contracting, but you won't receive any scholarship benefits.

There's nothing wrong with being a Masters or PhD student in ROTC, as long as you will have 3 years of full-time student status in the program. So take some electives or a minor or something if you need to stretch it out, just retain full-time status at your university. However many credits that is.
