I will leave that to someone newer to answer because every yr the system is tweaked.
I believe it is still you have to apply on your own for AFROTC, since it is a different system (paperwork) regarding boarding.
You will take a PFA instead of a CFA.
AFROTC does not take into consideration SR. yr. academics/ecs, AFA does.
You will list the colleges you want to attend (it is not like A/NROTC....the scholarship is not tied to the school), they want it for more manpower needs at each det. Also to verify that the school is part of their system.
You will inform them of your intended major. Tech majors are given an edge. @80-85% of all scholarships are tech. This is part of their decision making factor.
You will not necessarily be assigned an ALO. Your interview can occur with det, CoC, but for AFA it will be an ALO.
Yrs ago, our DS had to do both, AFA and AFROTC apps.
For you, I would contact the college because if I believe correctly you are not eligible for an HSSP. You will need to go ICSP due to credits. They can really help you more than the majority of us here.
~~~~ Reason why is simple. Many cadets that did not receive an HSSP, will apply for an ICSP. Some of these cadets did their interviews with them last yr. as a HS sr. You will want to be on the cadre's radar as soon as you start. They can help you now if you have any shortcomings.
~~~ Additionally, since you are applying for AFA, AFROTC can give you a nom. You want them to know that this is your goal. They will not hold this against you at all. Their goal is to train future officers for AF. You would not be the 1st one they had that was trying for AFA as an AFROTC cadet. Nor will you be the last.
~~~Other posters are more informed regarding ICSP, but I believe it is 2 boards. Fall and spring. See getting on the radar soon reason. I think fall results are released early Dec., not a long time to get them to know/support you.
Hope that helps somewhat.
