AFROTC- Convert type 7 to Type 2- 5th year?

[DJmav]

Hoping to received an AFROTC scholarship. I know tech majors are eligible for a 5th year scholarship, if needed. My top school is OOS so I would not be able to apply a 4 year Type 7. If I convert to a 3 year type 2 and am a tech major, does anyone know if I would then be eligible for scholarship for that 5th year(making it then a 4th year on scholarship.)

This is a great question. My impression is that the extension is a 1 year extension of your current scholarship, meaning it should be possible. If no one here gets you a response and the answer isn't online somewhere there's no shame in reaching out to a local detachment NCO who will get you an answer or get you to a person who could give you answer. Also I don't think it's every tech major, there is a list of 5 year approved majors from the SAF (Secratary of the Air Force), I can't happen to find it right now but that will tell you if you're eligible. If you are a 5 year major because of 1 year of co-op then I don't think you need approval as the Air Force does not pay for anything during Co-op except for a stipend if you are a tech major.
