Hi,
I believe I have a very good chance of getting a type 2 AFROTC scholarship, maybe even a type 1. My application is going to the board this Monday.
My listed majors are Computer Science and Chemistry. Since my friend is an East Asia Studies major with a Chinese scholarship (she just takes enough Chinese credits for it to count), I was under the impression that taking Biochemistry&Biophysics would work for a Chemistry scholarship (since I would be taking the same courses as a regular Chemistry major). Little did I know that language scholarships work very differently than tech scholarships...although I should have guessed. I just thought there was some leeway when a school's name for a major doesn't exactly match the name of the approved AFROTC major.
Yesterday was the last day to change one's listed majors before his or her application meets the board. I really would like to be a Biochemistry&Biophysics major, even though it's considered non tech. I absolutely do not expect a type 1 scholarship as a non tech major in any way, before someone brings it up. But I still want to be in AFROTC, and I still would like a four year scholarship of any kind.
If I am offered a type 2 scholarship for Chemistry, and I request to change it to Biochemistry, will all my scholarship benefits likely be revoked? Or will my scholarship benefits just reduce (i.e. go from type 2 to type 7)? Also, should I request to change it now before the board, after I am offered the scholarship, or after I accept the scholarship?

On the above forum, the student wanted to switch to Geology. However, my switch is not as major. Would this make any difference? I was considering AROTC (since they pay full and they don't mind what major you have), but my heart lies with the Air Force, unfortunately.
Thank you so much!
