Some recent statistics for the 2015 AROTC scholarship winners for the 2019 graduating class. Remember, these include 3 and 4 year winners.
The 4 year winners average was quite a bit higher than this and around a 29 on the ACT and 1290 on the SAT. That's higher than USMA whose 2019 class was 28 and 1254, respectively. Also, the average GPA for a 4 year winner is about 3.9-4.0 from what I was told by a PMS. I just thought I would let everyone know so they know the targets to shoot for a 4 year AROTC scholarship.
The Cadet Command selection board makes decisions based on the strength of your application compared to the applicant pool. The profile for the 2015 academic year nation-wide recipients which includes all 3 and 4 year winners:

Cadet Command awards both three year and four year scholarships through the centralized selection process.
The top candidates are selected for four year scholarships, others are awarded three-year scholarships, and others are not selected at all. If you are awarded a 4-year scholarship, then your benefits will be paid your freshman year as long as you pass the Army fitness test, medical exam, and meet height and weight requirements.
