The following was provided by Pima, perhaps with some minor editing from me.
1. AFROTC does not super score SAT/ACT. It is best sitting
2. AFROTC has three types of scholarships... type 1, type 2 and type 7. See here: https://www.afrotc.com/scholarships/types
3. AFROTC does not tie the scholarship to the college. All they care about is that the school accepts AFROTC.
~ IOWS they do not care if you go to MIT or University of Timbucktoo as long as both offer AFROTC or have a xtown unit that you can attend
4. It is a 2+2 scholarship. You must be selected for Summer Field Training (SFT) between sophomore and junior years. If you are not selected for SFT/EA as a 200, HQ AFROTC has the right to disenroll you.
Finally the most important. Sit down with the folks. Let's assume you get a type 1, but once at MIT you can't meet the 2.5 cgpa min., or decide you have no desire to go AFROTC, how will you pay for school if you leave?
I would stress that AFROTC is also like NROTC. 80-85% of all scholarships go to TECH majors, aka STEM for NROTC
Also forgot to say on the other thread AFROTC will not allow the scholarship to be used for room and board. It is tuition only. If finance is a factor, talk to the bursar because some schools will allow merit to be used for R & B, some will not.
