If I do not receive an ROTC scholarship, but go into active duty after college graduation, will my school get paid for?

Isabel Moritz it really depends on the benefits being offered and what is in your contract. If you complete college first you MAY be eligible for loan repayment if it is in your contract. Otherwise if you do not finish it but go straight into the military you get tuition assistance that you can use while you are in to pay for school ($250 per credit for up to $4,500 a year for the first degree of that type up through Master's) and you start to accrue GI Bill that you can use towards a degree.
But in all things if it is an additional benefit outside Tuition Assistance and GI Bill make sure it is in your contract in writing.

I'm not sure how that works but I do know that there is a Student Loan Repayment Program you might be able to use.

Yes there is for Active duty to get it you have to waive your GI Bill and for the Reserves there's a chance you could get it as an enlistment bonus up to $40K. You can find more information about these on myarmybenefits.com or through your local recruiting office.

Student loan repayment is great and all but it isn’t that great.. the fine line reads “15% of principle paid on date of your sign up date”.... so I had 15gs in loans which turned out be like maybe $2,000 a year paid towards your loans. It’s pretty stupid. ROTC is also really pathetic, the only thing you’ll learn is how to do an OPORD and read a map.. besides only nerds join ROTC. Be wise you.
