I'd most likely talk to an ROTC recruiter, or possibly any recruiter and ask. The main goals of ROTC is showing up, doing pt, being a team, completing missions, and every branch has an JROTC, and ROTC program, you just have to find the right school for it. Anyone can join ROTC, there is no eligibility, as long as you actually want to be there you are good, and the scholarships could also be earned through being in JROTC in high school.

Honestly, I'd recommend asking an ROTC advisor these questions instead of asking them on here, you're much more likely to get direct, accurate answers that way. Good luck!
