<p>Im looking to attain an AFOTC scholarship in Computer Science, but I was wandering how competitive they are to attain. I know there are a few different types of scholorships.</p>
<p>afrotc scholarships are the most competitive of three services' rotc programs. there are three types of AFROTC scholarships...type 1 will pay full tuition almost anywhere for four years, type two pays 15 grand a year for only the last three years, and a type 7 will pay 9000 a year for four years.</p>
<p>On the bright side, the AF is looking for computer science majors, so that plays in your favor.</p>
<p>I had my interview for the scholarship sometime late February, so i'm eager to hear back from the selection panel as well as the Academy. I've become a slave to both :[. I am trying to get a scholarship in Aeronautical Engineering though... good luck to you!</p>
<p>In advance of the AFROTC application deadline, my son and his school mailed all required materials. A month or so after mailing, he checked on-line and the website showed his application status as completed.</p>
<p>3/9 he checked again, not having heard anything. The status showed 'Missing extracurriculars'.</p>
<p>In speaking with the ROTC Counselor this morning, he advised there was nothing that could be done for this year and my son would have to reapply for next year.</p>
<p>AFROTC was a back-up plan for my son should he not get an appointment to the Academy or prep school, so while frustrating and upsetting, not the end of the world.</p>
<p>I post this for those who are more invested in the AFROTC; be sure to regularly check status and contact your counselor at least every two weeks. Same should be said for the Academy.</p>
<p>My son was just notified he received the Type 2 AFROTC scholarship. That's good news, but his heart is set on the Academy.</p>
<p>Just note:</p>
<p>about 1% of scholarship recipients receive the full tuition/fees. about 10ish% receive $15k/year for 3+years, and the vast majority are offered the <$9k. if you receive the <$9k, you can convert it to $15k/year for 3 years.</p>
<p>FYI: Type 2 is now 18k per year. There was a special note in the packet.</p>
<p>g0gat0rs23, your numbers are wrong according the AFROTC website.</p>
<p>Type 1: 5%
Type 2: 20%
Type 7: 75%</p>
<p>^^ I have spoken with the coordinators on this. They told me that my numbers were the ones that were good this year. I received a type 7, but I also received a full scholarship from the Navy ROTC, so I asked the AFROTC ppl if I could get my application into the pool again so I could have a chance at the full tuition scholarship. That's when they hit me with the numbers I previously stated, and advised against it. </p>
<p>I'm not being provocative, but I trust people more than I trust web sites.</p>
<p>I fully completed my AFROTC application by going to an interview on 18th Feb. The application was updated online a few days later. My question is, would this application have made the March board or will I have to wait until April? Just curious...</p>
<p>One thing to realize, as the economy goes south and college becomes more expensive, more people will compete for a scholarship, making it more difficult to receive the golden ticket.</p>
