Answer 2

Green to Gold is a program designed to allow qualified and inspired young enlisted soldiers to return to college, receive their baccalaureate degree, and earn a commission as an Army officer.

Enlisted members who meet the prerequisites can either apply for a 2, 3, or 4 year scholarship or can participate in the Green to Gold program without applying for or earning a scholarship. Soldiers who participate in this program are discharged from active duty and enlisted in the Army Reserve as part of their ROTC program.

If otherwise eligible for Montgomery G.I. Bill Benefits, cadets who entered the ROTC through the Green to Gold program, whether under a scholarship or not, may use their Montgomery GI Bill benefits and are paid a monthly tax-free stipend. (Sophomores $300, Juniors $350, Seniors $400).

Green to Gold briefings are normally conducted at Army Installations by a local Army ROTC cadre member. The briefings are normally done on a walk-in basis.
