In this episode, we discuss significant updates to the Air Force ROTC High School Scholarship Program (HSSP) for the application year 2024-2025. Key changes include:
Reintroduction of the Type 2 Scholarship: After a period of offering only the Type 1 scholarship, the Air Force ROTC has reintroduced the Type 2 scholarship, which provides $18,000 annually toward tuition, significantly less than the full-tuition coverage of Type 1.
Major Selections and Criticality Ratings: A new criticality rating system from one to four prioritizes majors during the scholarship selection process, emphasizing certain technical and language majors over others.
Key Points:
The Type 2 scholarship offers limited financial coverage compared to the Type 1, affecting choices for attending private or out-of-state public schools.ROTC scholarship boards run three times a year, with early applicants locked into the scholarship type awarded.Strategic major selection is crucial, with higher priority given to majors like electrical and computer engineering, and languages such as Russian and Chinese due to their criticality ratings.Financial Considerations:
States like Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, North Dakota, Texas, and Oklahoma offer in-state tuition rates to ROTC scholarship recipients, which can mitigate the financial gap for Type 2 recipients.Closing Remarks:Listeners are encouraged to make well-informed decisions and consider how these changes might impact their application strategy. ROTC Scholarship Consulting is available to assist with the application process, including interview preparation and essay editing.
