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...

Good luck to your DS! Given his initiative, I'm sure he will have no problem with the interview.

The 1st board being December and results being near Christmas was my previous understanding as well, so I was surprised to see that portion of the email. I figured it would be a help to other applicants if it was made known to them. That being said, I have my interview scheduled for the end of...

I received an email stating that my HSSP application was processed and that my interview is being scheduled. The email also provided the board and release dates for this year. If anybody is interested, the board dates are as follows: 11/14/16 - 11/18/16, releases 11/23/16 1/23/17 - 1/27/17...

I apologize for resurrecting this post, but I felt this update would be helpful. My current PFA practice (using the exact directions off of the official AFROTC scholarship app sheet, doing each exercise in succession) scores are as follows: 1.5 mile run: 9:05 Waist Circumference: 29 Inches (self...

If you're asking me, (in which case I am obligated to notify you that I am not a great source) I had the impression that it would allow you to engage in more specialized work along your career path. For example, as somebody who wants to be a 62EXA (Aerospace developmental engineer), the...
