Air Force ROTC (AFROTC) has two scholarship programs: the High School Scholarship Program (HSSP) and the In-College Scholarship Program (ICSP).
The HSSP program is tailored toward graduating high school seniors, who initially must apply by December 1st of their senior year. From there, candidates are selected for interviews and recipients are chosen who go on to choose and attend an eligible AFROTC college.
The In-College Scholarship Program (ICSP) is designed for cadets who have already started college and are in Air Force ROTC. 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.
Important dates can be found here.
Both scholarships offer 100% of in-state tuition and fees paid for, up to $18,000 per year; a $600 text book stipend and $300/$350/$450/$500 per month tax-free stipend to freshman/sophomores/juniors/seniors, respectively.
