<p>I will probably qualify for the Type 2 scholarship but I find how the official website explains how much money is given very difficult. I am considering both in and out of state schools. Will I get as much money towards out of state tuition as in state tuition? If Tuition was $20,000 a year how much would ROTC cover? Also, does Type 2 apply for all 4 years? Thanks!</p>
<p>Directly from the Air Force website (amount may vary by service, but they’re generally very similar, but AF ones are the toughest to get):</p>
<p>“Type 2 – Pays college tuition and most fees up to $18,000 and $900 per year for books. Approximately 15% of our four-year scholarship winners will be offered a Type-2 scholarship (mostly in technical fields). If a student attends an institution where the tuition exceeds $18,000 per year, then he/she pays the difference. All three-year scholarships are Type 2.”</p>
<p>In other words, $18k/yr, $900/yr for books, plus your monthly stipend. You pay the rest out of pocket, doesn’t matter whether it’s in-state or not.</p>
<p>And just so you know, even Type 2’s and 7’s are tough to get. If you are not in a critical technical field with top stats, you might as well forget it.</p>
<p>From the 2012 service academy forums on AFROTC scholarships (which I found via an easy google search to CC):</p>
<p>-- 30% of those who applied and were found to meet minimum standards (4,825) were awarded scholarships (1,449 offers)</p>
<p>-- 77 Type 1 offers; 5% of total offers; avg 1440 on SAT reading/math or 33 on ACT (full tuition, any school + $900 books + stipend)</p>
<p>-- 216 Type 2 offers; 15 % of total offers; avg 1360 on SAT reading/math or 31 on ACT (up to $18K, any school + $900 books + stipend)</p>
<p>-- 1,156 Type 7 offers; 80% of total offers; avg 1280 on SAT reading/math or 29 on ACT (in-state tuition for 4 years or convert to 3 yr Type 2 + $900 books + stipend)</p>
<p>Also, it should go without saying but if you are only applying to pay for college…please don’t. Only do it if you really want to serve this country in the armed forces after you graduate.</p>
<p>I know that this is an old thread, but for clarification it should be noted that a person can easily convert a 4-year type 7 scholarship into a 3-year type 2. Plus, a handful of colleges will supplement a type 2 scholarship up to full tuition, including the first year. Look at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota:
