YOUR FUTURE

Just because you enroll in AFJROTC doesn't mean you have any military obligation. But no matter which career path you choose after high school, AFJROTC will provide you tools for success. However, there are benefits available for those students who do wish to pursue a military career. AFJROTC cadets who choose to continue their education may receive special consideration for Air Force ROTC scholarships. Many of these scholarships will pay for two, three or four years of tuition, books and fees at numerous universities and colleges and will allow cadets pursue studies in a technical or nontechnical major. For cadets who decide to enter the military immediately after graduating from high school, they're eligible to enlist at one to two pay grades higher than other enlistees.
