Hey Everyone,
I thought that AFROTC offered general/universal scholarships, meaning the acceptance into ROTC was independent of the school the recipient attended (of course, the school would have to offer an AFROTC program); however, in my scholarship application, the Air Force asked me to select 5 schools in which I was interested. This appears to indicate that my AFROTC application would be considered on a school-by-school basis, not the general basis I originally expected. Can anyone shed some light on this situation?
From the "Application Process" page on the AFROTC website: "Once you have decided to accept the scholarship offer, the Air Force ROTC detachment at your selected school will provide further guidance on the actions required for the fall term of your first semester of college". The way I read this statement was that a student would choose their school after they were given a general/universal AFROTC scholarship. Am I correct in this interpretation?
I know that for the Army ROTC scholarship, I must select 7 schools that will be individually sent my packet to evaluate for acceptance into their specific program, so I am wondering if the same is true in the Air Force?
If the school I attend is independent from my AFROTC application, why do they ask me to provide schools? And why do they limit the number of schools for which I can declare my interest, considering it will not send my application to each one (so their would be no incentive for me to input schools I am actually not interested in)
