I was wondering if anyone had any idea what the statistics on scholarship applicants to contract awards were like for this year. I know the AF had been cutting back on the HSSP program but I was curious if the recruiting issues are resulting in a higher offer rate. If anyone has any information...
With the new cutback on HSSP scholarships in favor of ICSP scholarships, there are very few HSSP scholarships compared to what it used to be. I've heard numbers as low as only 500 HSSP scholarships for next year. If this is true and if we assume each Commander at each of the 145 detachments has...
If you have a Type-2 AFROTC scholarship but your tuition exceeds the $9000-per-semester scholarship, can you convert it to a Type-7 that covers full instate tuition instead? DS just got his fall tuition bill and the college raised tuition this year and the Type-2 no longer covers it in full...
I haven’t seen any mention of this so far and I’ve used this forum for SA and ROTC stuff quite awhile. Recently, I was honored to receive a J-100 Character-In-Leadership scholarship.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with what that is; Gen Goldfein, before he retired, wanted a scholarship...
I was wondering if anyone can make sense of this data. It shows a significant decline in HSSP applicants over the last decade. Combining this with more recent data, this trend is continuing drastically. In a post from 2018, there were 5,581 applicants, which is down from well over 15,000 back in...
It's common knowledge that AFROTC scholarships are usually awarded to people taking "technical majors" (https://www.afrotc.com/scholarships/desired-majors/). I assume this means Big Blue has a shortage of people with those degrees, but what I'd like to know is this: if somebody is looking to...
Hi all,
I'm a junior in high school, prepping to apply for an AFROTC scholarship (opens in June). But I will be living in Mexico by then (long story short: U.S. State Dept. reasons, and yes, it will happen). Anyone know how that changes things at all? As in, for the interview, or application...
Hi all,
I was looking at which majors the Air Force considers "technical" (and thus, priority will be given to them as far as AFROTC high school scholarships go). I noticed that there are honestly not many degrees it has listed, in my opinion. My question is, given these majors...
Hi,
As many of you know, lots of engineering majors require you to complete a civilian internship as part of the course. My question is, can I do both AFROTC (possibly on scholarship) and an internship in my junior year of college? (For example, a degree in Manufacturing Engineering requires a...
Here are some stats that AFROTC HQ released for this year's HSSP results. I looked around to see if anyone else had posted and they hadn't, so I hope I'm not duplicating here...o_O
High School Scholarship Program:
- 5,581 submitted applications
- 2,851 eligible applicants
- 2,789 interviews...
Hello, this is my first post. i applied for AFROTC HSSP back in the fall and had my interview with an officer early January. I just received an email this evening stating that I would be prompted within 2-3 days on instructions for my DoDMERB exam. Does this mean that I was accepted for the...
How much of a boost do you think a Mitchell award in CAP will give to a competitive AFROTC scholarship applicant? Put another way, would it be more useful, for the purpose of gaining a Tier I AFROTC scholarship, to:
a) ... double down on CAP leadership-related activities and spend relatively...
Hi! I'm new to the forum and just recently made an account here, but I've been reading theads for a while now.
I have a fews questions regarding the AFROTC Scholarship:
1) When you list three majors on the application (if it's not three, please correct me) is the scholarship tied to one 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...
