CANADIAN ARMED FORCES SUBSIDIZATION PLANS
The high professional ability required of present day military officers demands
the best in education and training. The Department of National Defence therefore
sponsors programs of university education and leadership training for selected
young men and women who have the potential to become officers in the Canadian Armed Forces. The admission standards are high, but for those who qualify
the way is open to a challenging and rewarding career.
The programs sponsored are the Regular OfficerTraining Plan (ROTP), Medical
Officer Training Plan (MOTP) and Dental Officer Training Plan (DOTP). Training
given under these plans is divided into two parts: normal attendance at university
throughout the academic year and military training each summer. A period of
compulsory military service is a condition of acceptance to any of these plans.
ROTP - This plan combines university subsidization with career training as an
officer in the regular component of the Canadian Forces. Successful applicants
are enrolled in the rank of Officer Cadet. They are required to maintain a good
standing both academically and militarily while in the plan. All tuition and other
essential fees are paid by the Department of National Defence. As well, a monthly
salary is paid to cover living expenses. Free medical and dental care is provided.
Annual leave with full pay and allowances may be granted each year, usually
before and after the summer training period. On graduation the Officer Cadet
is commissioned as an Officer in the rank of 2nd Lieutenant.
Undergraduate students are also eligible to apply for this program provided they
have at least one full year remaining before graduation.
An applicant must a) be a Canadian citizen, b) be physically fit for enrolment
in the Canadian Forces, and c) if ROTP - be at least 16 years of age on the first
day of January of the year he/she commences first year studies at university, or
if MOTP or DOTP - be at least 17 years of age.
How To Apply - Individuals interested in obtaining more information on, or
