Good for him! My ds#2 is thinking about that too.

Absolutely! Does your ds#1 like the ROTC life so far?

Wow! It is very encouraging that he got notice earlier! My older son is now a sophomore in college through AFROT and he loves it! My younger son now wants to take the same path and apply to AFROTC in Fall 2025 when he is a Senior. Seeing so many applications were rejected this year, it makes me...

M's husband here: Great advice from everyone. One comment from Babamort stands out, the "I don't think I could live with having to drop bombs and intentionally killing other people." If you are in the AF, you are part of the process that ends with dropping bombs and intentionally killing...

My DS got his AFROTC scholarship 2 years ago. His stats are: SAT-1540, Rank 1 out of 780, 7 APs when he applied (Scored 5 for 6 APs, and a 4), President of Math club and RC Race Car Club, Varsity Soccer team, 4 Years of soccer refereeing Exp. We thought he would get a type 1, but he got a type 7...

My DS got the scholarship 2 years ago. I don't think AFROTC offer 4, 3, or 2 year type of scholarships. Instead, it offers Type 1, Type 2 and Type 7. They all cover 4 years. The difference is weather it covers out-of-state, private and/or public universities.

My son's major is computer science with concentration on cyber security. Hopefully he will get it. Still waiting for the decision...

Getting your interview done does not mean the detachment is able to submit the evaluation on time. This happened to my DS who applied for AFROTC. He got his interview done during the 2nd week January two years ago. He also applied for Space Force at the same time. SF had a board review towards...

@so7 and @Physicsguru: Thank you very much! I got why they only cover bachelor's degree now. My son has talked to his detachment and submitted the plan on how he will complete the master in the 4th year. His detachment will submit it to the higher up. We are hopeful!

I talked about this with my son too. He said he needs to get his BS first before applying for master, even though he has been taking graduate courses in his sophomore year. So this won't work. I would imagine that AFROTC would encourge students to get as much education as possible in 4 years...

That's very helpful to know. Thank you!

I am not sure of the details of my son's conversation with the detachment. I will find out. my impression is that they follow the law strictly :)

My son told me that if someone has to take 5 years to complete the undergraduate program, AROTC would cover the 5th year tuition. But if you finish undergraduate program in three years then AROTC won't cover the 4th year graduate program. You brought up a good point about the cost. If the cost...

My son is a sophomore on Air Force ROTC program. Because he earned a lot of AP credits from high school and has been classes during his summer and winter breaks in the past year, he will be able to complete his undergraduate program in his Junior year and graduate program in his Senior year...

On the portal, there should be a contact person's email. Email the contact and find out. My DS was waiting for a decision which never came. Then he emailed AFROTC and found out that his paperwork was sent in after the Board review and he was never considered.

My son contacted the SF AFROTC, the same contact for AFROTC questions. He said that the cutoff date for the SF Board review is Jan 14, 2022 but they did not receive the paperwork until Jan 24 so he was not even considered for SF scholarship!!! It's mostly our fault that he should have his...

Vanderbilt is lucky to have you! Whatever you choose to do, you will succeed!

Thank you! We will go ahead and contact the admission :)

No, we have not talked to anyone yet. My son just received the AFROTC award last week :). He waitlisted at MIT. Our son is planning on emailing the Recruiting Officer and following up with a phone call this week. But his Dad thinks he should contact the Detachment Commander who will then assign...

My son got the AFROTC scholarship and he needs to respond before May 15, 2022. He is on waitlist for his 1st choice school and he won't know if he gets accepted by them until sometime in May. He needs to accept his 2nd choice school before May 1. Both of these school have AFROTC programs. So...
