Scholarships & Careers

Scholarship cycles, service commitments, and career processes are all governed by current official sources. This page points you to the right one for your question — it is not the source of record for any of them.

Current program information

This is Detachment 520's official website. Program information here follows current Air Force ROTC, Cornell, and Department of the Air Force guidance and is reviewed regularly. Eligibility, medical qualification, scholarship, contracting, commissioning, and assignment outcomes are decided case by case, so contact the detachment about your own circumstances.
