My understanding was that the major listed on the original application was what must be listed on the school acceptance letter submitted to AFROTC when the scholarship is accepted. I spoke to our DS's top non SA school ROTC group and was told that changes can be made but its not guaranteed, and I didn't ask about timing since our focus was on change of degree choice prior to beginning 1st semester as opposed to changing degree path at a later date.Can anyone help me out, dd got a 4 yr tech scholarship. Can she be undecided his first yr or does her path have to be tech from
The beginning. She’s undecided on which tech major. This is a lot of stress
If it’s AFROTC, they should have given her a specific major that came along with the scholarship. Correct me if I’m wrong (I got a non tech), but I believe that she can’t choose any tech major with her scholarship (aka you’re locked in to the major that you were offered). The scholarship that she received is just for mechanical engineering, language, etc.Can anyone help me out, dd got a 4 yr tech scholarship.

Sorry AFROTCWhat branch of service?
During my AFROTC interview they said if you are awarded a Tech scholarship it has to be one of the majors listed under their Highly Desired Majors tab on the website (stem majors). You unfortunately cannot enter into undecided your first year.
However for stem majors a majority of the classes you take your first two years will be generals and required by almost all of the stem majors. From what I’ve heard: as long as you transfer to another stem major the process is very smooth and you should have no problems, so let’s say you start out in mechanical engineering but in a few months or a year you decide that you would rather do aerospace engineering, there should be no problem switching.
So I recommend just choosing a stem major that you find interesting now and know that if later on you find interest in another stem major, you have the option to change to that major. (The big thing to know is that you HAVE to transfer to another stem major if you are going to do this)
Hope that help, best of luck to you and congrats on the scholarship!
P.S. -> I was awarded a Type 7 Tech scholarship and it doesn’t specify which major I have to choose (even though I put aero engineering as my #1). I believe as long as you submit your acceptance letter with one of the approved stem majors it should work, you might want to verify what I’ve said with a scholarship technician or AFROTC cadre though.

I don’t know, apparently choosing a major? If she’s stressed now, just wait till she actually starts the coursework.What is a lot of stress?
