I agree with Ohio, for the class of 16 the numbers may even be lower than this yr.
There are lots of issues that need to be placed into the equation when you investigate the scholarship process.
1. DoD budget
~~~ For FY 11/12 (begins Oct.1) it has been requested that they reduce it by 10%.
Realistically, it won't come from the operational aspect, thus it has to come from somewhere else. When JCS Admiral Mullens states that pay and bennies for AD are not off the table, expect ROTC to be on the table too.
2. Competition
~~~The longer we remain in a recession while tuition increases, the larger the pool of applicants will become.
Now add into number 1., you get the perfect storm, more applicants, less scholarships.
3. Meet the CoC
~~~ We are all here to help, but unless you are going to the colleges that clarkson and marist represent, not one of us can give you "true" advice. We can give analogies and anecdotal info. plus that ear to bend.
Some units are more competitive academically than others, some are less. Only the CoC can give you a true image regarding your chances.
Even with that, many CoC's are being cautious right now because of my point 1 (budget). When you do the visit, and ask about a 2/3 yr., honestly, all they can do is give historical data of their success rate. This is the reason I say ask the stat., not the number. I.E. school A had 10 awarded, but 100 eligible. School B had 3, and 15 cadets. 10 sounds better than 3, but 20% is better than 10%, hence school B has a higher success rate.
Now all of that is stated, one thing you need to realize is the more informed you are, the more confident you will feel regarding your path. The way to be successful in ROTC and the military is to BELIEVE. Having second thoughts will occur, that is natural and common, it is what you do when you have the doubts that will impact your life.
Let's be honest, General Powell had doubts during his career regarding his choices and his path, it was what he did that made the difference between being a leader and a follower.
Good luck
OBTW, in 09 IS scholarships for AFROTC existed, but due to budget cuts it did not exist in 10, and even for 11 it is questionable. If you opted the IS path as 13 class without a scholarship you would have no scholarship, even though when you applied in HS it did exist. Again, what existed last fiscal yr may not be there the following yr.
