To be eligible, those cadets need to have attended college/AFROTC for at least one semester. This scholarship is only available to cadets in their first or second year of the program. Cadets don't apply for this scholarship; faculty/cadre nominate eligible cadets who then are selected via a centralized board at Air Force ROTC headquarters.
