My DS recieved a 4 year/Type 7 AFROTC scholarship, but it does not list to which school. He ranked his preferences and was admitted to all three. Is he supposed to contact the school AFROTC Unit or how does this work?
 
Yes. An AFROTC scholarship is not tied to a particular school. He will be asked to submit his acceptance letter to the college he has selected when he accepts his scholarship - at least we did last year!
 
Early April (I think) 2017. The letter from the college needs to include acceptance into his major as well. My son had to wait to accept his scholarship because he switched from engineering to computer science - and the acceptance letter he had from the University was for the college of engineering. They sent him another which stated he was accepted into the college of sciences and arts - and he accepted the scholarship that day. You have until the end of May to accept the scholarship, but there really is no point in waiting, if he knows his school.

There is a handbook download on the AFROTC portal page - if he hasn't downloaded it yet, he should.
 
LOL - Guess I should pay more attention who is asking the questions of whom....

We are still waiting on a few other things before he accepts. He applied to all 5 service academies and has not heard from any of them accept/deny and he should know about AROTC by next week. Was just wondering about how it worked with AFROTC.
 
@QWE123 Go ahead and accept the scholarship. It's not legally binding. If he decides to attend a preferred ROTC program or take an appointment to an academy he can do so with no problem. Simply let AFROTC know that he won't be using the scholarship in that case, when the decision is made.
