    • There is no tuition or financial aid at the United States Military Academy. The U. S. Army pays for 100 % of the tuition, room & board, and medical & dental costs for all cadets. This means that all West Point cadets attend on a full scholarship, in return for a service commitment upon graduation (currently 5 years active and 3 years inactive reserve duty). Also, each cadet receives a salary that covers the cost of uniforms, books, supplies, etc. that cadets need while at West Point.
