Scholarships & Financial Benefits

Every AFROTC scholarship cycle has its own rules, dates, selection process, and award terms. This site does not reproduce them — it tells you what to verify and sends you to the current official source.

Step-by-step research

Use the current official cycle

AFROTC's scholarship hub is the source for the current application cycle, opportunity types, deadlines, eligibility, and award terms. Before you make an academic or financial decision, verify each of these against it.

Selection policies

Applying guarantees nothing

Meeting application criteria does not guarantee scholarship consideration or selection, and a scholarship does not by itself guarantee program completion or commissioning.

University billing

Cornell financial planning

AFROTC scholarship information and Cornell financial aid are separate decision sources. Use Cornell Financial Aid for billing questions and for how an outside benefit may affect your individual aid package.
