Currently, ROTC cadets who are offered a scholarship (not all are), receive:
1) Full tuition and fees OR $10k/year to cover room and board. Cadet chooses. I'd expect at most schools the tuition+fees is worth more, but some cadets have other scholarships that might cover all or part of tuition.
2) $1200/year for textbooks
3) $300-$500/month (depending on year) living stipend
- alexhutcheson 8y agoActually it looks like the Air Force offers scholarships in 3 tiers: https://www.afrotc.com/scholarships/high-school/types/ https://www.afrotc.com/scholarships/high-school/types/ In addition to the offer I described above, it looks like a "Type 2" scholarship is the same, but with tuition+fees capped at $18k/year, and "Type 3" is the same, but with tuition+fee capped at the in-state rate at a public university.
- jl2718 8y agoThese tiers are ridiculous. The only reason I am not in the Air Force is that ROTC would not give a type 1 for a two year scholarship to a prior active duty at Harvey Mudd. The remaining cost was too much, so I went elsewhere on academic scholarship.
