Im just wondering how I go about the process of joining the AFROTC off scholarship? On their website they say many join off scholarship, but i couldnt find an app or anything. Thanks for the insight!
 
See im attending Iowa State, and their website just sent me to the general Air Force site, so that confused me
 
My son was in the same position I highly, highly recommend contacting the AFRotc group and talk to them about joining as a college programmer. My son was picked up as a college programmer in May (Go Gamecocks!). He starts college the same time as those on scholarship. I know Iowa State is very proud if all their Rotc programs!
 
@JakeReitz In the past y0u have shown interest in Navy and the Marines. Iowa State has NROTC and here https://www.navy.iastate.edu/about/college-program/ is information on their NROTC college program application process. I do not know what your motivation is for ROTC, scholarship, service to country or desire to be an officer is a specific branch, but you may want to evaluate the ROTC options at Iowa State and determine which is best for you. Call the units. Get a feel for each one and ask them about their success rate for getting college programers a scholarship.
 
Emailing is your best bet. The cadre will fill you in on the details pertaining to Iowa State.

After getting a TWE from USNA and getting turned down by NROTC/MO, my DS went to Army ROTC without a scholarship ( never appled for AROTC scholarship in HS) and was awarded a 3 year after three weeks into his freshman year.

If you work hard you may be able to earn a campus based scholarship.
 
+1 for @gokings814 If a ROTC scholarship is your primary driver seriously consider Army ROTC. I have do not have any statistics to back up my opinion, but I would think Army ROTC would be the easiest of the services to be awarded a scholarship.

We are hoping for the same thing to happen with our son! I love hearing success stories!

I would agree, 5day, but I do know @kinnem's DS did receive a NROTC/MO "sideload" scholarship in similar fashion
 
Even kinnem agrees with 5Day.... law of large(r) numbers.

Ive only applied for the Navy before. For me, the importance is serving. I want Air Force or Navy, no other branches. I will be sure to check whats best, Thanks!
