Air Force ROTC Scholarships

Air Force ROTC (AFROTC) is open to incoming freshmen students and in-college students with at least three years left of study.
If students are approaching their senior year of high school, they can apply for the High School Scholarship Program (HSSP) online at afrotc.com.
If they apply for a High School Scholarship and subsequently are not awarded a scholarship, there are opportunities to compete for an in-college scholarship while in AFROTC.
Please be advised that students do not have to be on scholarship in order to participate in AFROTC.
