Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) is a college program offered at more than 1,100 campuses across the country. It prepares young men and women to become leaders in the Air Force, but it’s also much more. You will grow as an individual both mentally and physically while developing lifelong friendships. You can acquire strong leadership skills that will benefit you as an Air Force Officer and in corporate America. And, it’s an opportunity to pay for school through scholarships. Plus, unlike many college students, you’ll have a position waiting for you after graduation at one of the top high-tech organizations in the world — the U.S. Air Force.
You do not have to be on scholarship to join Air Force ROTC.
How does it work?
Being in Air Force ROTC comes with many benefits, including a commitment to serve. College sophomores on an AFROTC scholarship, as well as college juniors who are in AFROTC but not on scholarship, agree to serve in the U.S. Air Force following graduation with an opportunity to enter as an officer. And if grad school is in your plans, don’t worry. You will be eligible for tuition assistance to help you pursue your graduate degree once you enter the Air Force.How do I Apply?
