First, you'll meet with the ROTC unit's HR assistant to chat about your aspirations and why you want to join ROTC. No need to dress up, but keep it conservative. For the scholarship part, make sure to get your grades, transcripts, and any test scores to the US Army Cadet Command and fill out the application online. The essays are a big deal, so really put time and effort into them!
