Support the BU Division of Military Education

Financial support from our alumni, friends, and family members helps to enrich the ROTC experience for all of our cadets and midshipmen. For example, donations help offset increasing costs for various activities, like training competitions and formal events (e.g., the annual military ball), so that our cadets and midshipmen can more readily participate.
You can donate to support our ROTC efforts at this Division of Military Education link. Thank you for helping prepare America’s future military leaders!
