Throughout the program, the Leadership Education curriculum is presented by way of five different categories of instruction. Those categories are: 1. Leadership, 2\. Citizenship, 3. Personal Growth and Responsibility, 4. Public Service and Career Exploration, and 5. General Military Subjects. The curriculum reflects two fundamental aspects: Leadership Studies which teach leadership and citizenship; and the Leadership Labs which allow the student to apply that knowledge. Students do not incur any military obligation with Junior ROTC. Further, the MJROTC program is not a recruiting platform for the U.S. Military Services. Eligible students that complete a minimum of two years in MJROTC can qualify for ROTC college scholarships, service academy appointments, and enlistment in advanced pay grades should they desire to pursue those options. ROTC college scholarships typically pay for tuition, fees and books. In addition, scholarship recipients each receive a tax-free monthly stipend (spending allowance) of $300 to $500.
