Foreign Language Proficiency Bonus (FLPB)

While in school, contracted Army ROTC cadets can earn up to $3,000 per year while taking courses designed to teach the student how to speak, read, write, or interpret approved foreign languages through the Foreign Language Proficiency Bonus (FLPB). After they graduate, they could earn up to $500/month for their proficiency in one of these languages if they earn a score of 4/4 on the Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR) scale.
