100% agree with the above posters. My addition: Submitting early may help you win a Commander's Scholarship. Each AFROTC detachment is allowed one CS to award to a HSSP applicant, which is effectively a Type 1 for tech majors and a Type 2 for non-tech. However, this offer can only be accepted...

I have a nearly identical situation: Type 1 AFROTC Scholarship with several private scholarships and a few university ones. Based on my conversations with my commander and the university, the detachment reports to the AF how much is left to be paid in your account, and then the AF pays that...

Future AFROTC cadet here. I wanted to major in aerospace engineering since I was in 8th grade, but my dream school did not offer it. I have talked to several aviation/aerospace professionals at job shadows, EAA AirVenture (largest aviation gathering in the world), and online inquiries, and the...

Type 1 AFROTC at University of Wisconsin - Madison.

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification!

Thank you! That's fantastic advice. If I'm reading your reply correctly, does this mean that for your son's case, the bursar could choose in what order to apply the monies? So if my school operates similarly, I could notify the bursar what order would be optimal for my situation and wouldn't...

Thanks! I always do this before applying. If it's not listed, I call the sponsoring organization to make a determination.

Will do! I'm already exploring this avenue, which I apologize for not including in the post. Thanks for the recommendation!

I am a senior in high school, and I was awarded an AFROTC Type 1 Commander's Scholarship to my school of choice last September. I then accepted it when I was admitted to the school mid-January. While the scholarship does cover all my tuition needs, the monthly stipend and book allowance will not...

My future AFROTC det. Commander wanted an update on my DoDMERB status after it was passed (after being awarded a scholarship). Just my own personal experience with the process.

Accepted Type 1 Tech Scholarship last Monday. Congrats, everyone!

I looked at the magazine you reference. The ROTC rankings, as listed in the "National Universities" and the "Liberal Arts Colleges" tables, is calculated by, and I quote, "the percentage of students who serve in ROTC". So I believe it would be wise to clarify that these rankings are a parameter...

Thanks for the help, everybody! I appreciate all the advice. I only ask these questions so far in advance because I like to begin with the end in mind, and being prepared for all possibilities (one of which is continuing in AFROTC) is a habit of mine. Sorry to have temporarily hijacked this thread!

I'm happy that this thread came up, as I also have a few questions regarding AFSC selection. I will be an AS100 next fall. I have looked at AFSC CGO perspective packets and the educational requirements for the AFSCs I'm interested in, so I am not completely blind to the roles of officers in...

I have similar overall stats (3.83 GPA, 11 AP classes, 35 ACT, 4 years soccer, many leadership XCs, technical work/internships, mech engineering intent, etc.) and was awarded a Type 1 Commander's scholarship (contingent on university admittance and DODMERB results). Starting late can hurt you...
