ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

AEROSPACE STUDIES

Enrollment in the General Military Course (first two years) is voluntary for eligible students and does not obligate non-scholarship students for further military service. The Professional Officer Course (last two years) is also voluntary. The Professional Officer

Course leads to a commission in the U.S. Air Force and those selected to continue training incur a military obligation.

AFROTC BENEFITS

As Air Force ROTC cadets, students are entitled to selective benefits. Social and co-curricular activities, together with leadership and academic training, are all part of Air Force ROTC. Contracted Cadets receive a nontaxable subsistence allowance each month during the school year. The detachment sponsors a Civil Air Patrol where cadets can obtain front-seat and back-seat flying time in Cessna aircraft. Drill team, honor guard and Arnold Air Honor Society are just a few social outlets for the Cadets. Summer opportunities for Cadets can include a paid visit to a military installation for two weeks, freefall parachuting, combat survival training, flight nurse shadowing and Cadet training assistant duty at field training.

AFROTC SCHOLARSHIPS

Air Force ROTC offers scholarships that vary in length of award and amount based on academic major and applicant qualifications. All awarded scholarships pay a stipend for textbooks and fees, plus a monthly, nontaxable, stipend during the school year. Scholarship applicants are selected using the whole-person concept, which includes objective factors (i.e., GPA, standardized test scores (SAT/ACT), and physical fitness test) and subjective factors (i.e., personal evaluations). Students who are enrolled in Air Force ROTC generally improve their scholarship selection opportunity. In addition to meeting the general qualifications mentioned above, scholarship applicants must be at least 17 years of age when the scholarship is activated and must be less than 31 years of age as of the end of their commissioning year. Because the scholarship program varies needs of the Air Force, interested applicants should contact the Department of Aerospace Studies at (817) 257-7461 or www.afrotc.tcu.edu for specifics.

AFROTC COMMISSIONING

Upon successful completion of the AFROTC Program and baccalaureate or graduate degree, a Cadet is commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. In some instances, active service can be delayed by students continuing in post-baccalaureate degree programs.

I understand that I will be charged for any issued item not returned or that is damagedbeyond normal wear and tear. Normal wear and tear would include (but not be limited to) frayed pockets or obvious wornspots on the garments. I also understand that there are items (headgear, boots, shoes, brass items, gloves, & belts) onceworn, are not returnable and I will not receive a credit should I leave the Corps. Should I not return the uniforms asprescribed, I understand that a charge will be added to my student account. The billing will not be removed, the uniformswill not be accepted by the CUW, and the debt must be paid. If the uniforms are not returned by the deadline, thegarments are the property of the signed student and the bill must be paid.

5. I further acknowledge that I will be billed for issued uniform items at the beginning of each academic year. After the firstday of class, the fee becomes nonrefundable. Should I leave the Corps prior to the first day of class, I will still be chargedfor the non-returnable uniform parts.
