The minimum GPA for scholarship recipients is, I believe, 2.5.
I've read through the scholarship contract and there is some ambiguous language in the document. Under the disenrollment section it says "... must compete favorably with applicants for POC enrollment application." What exactly does that mean? To me it possibly means even if you are above the PFA and GPA minimums, and haven't been a discredit to the program, you can be disenrolled. This is after the section where it says you can be disenrolled for failure to meet military, academic, or medical retention standards. So you could meet the standards and still be disenrolled if the Det/CC thinks you are not competing favorably? That is strange.
The AFROTC instruction document from June 2023 also says that "Even if I achieve GPA standards but my Det/CC does not feel my performance warrants scholarship retention, I understand my scholarship can be suspended or terminated immediately." That's also kind of concerning.
I am looking at a college which is offering about $86k in financial aid for tuition of $88k (it was just revised). So my tuition out-of-pocket cost could be $2k. If I take the scholarship and don't make the POC, I could potentially have to pay back $176,000. That's pretty risky.
