What is Air Force ROTC?
Air Force ROTC 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’ll grow mentally and physically as you acquire strong leadership skills that will benefit you as an Air Force Officer and in life. It’s also a great opportunity to pay for school through scholarships. You’ll develop lifelong friendships and have unique experiences. Plus unlike many college students, you’ll have a position waiting for you after graduation at one of the world’s top high-tech organizations—the U.S. Air Force.
In exchange for having your college education paid for, cadets commit to four years of service in the U.S. Air Force. Also, if you’re considering grad school, once you enter the Air Force, you’ll be eligible for graduate degree tuition assistance.
