Are there special programs for active duty airmen?
Yes! There are three programs. Both the Scholarships for Outstanding Airmen to ROTC program and the Airman Scholarship and Commissioning Program allow you to compete for four-, three-, and two-year scholarships and be released from active duty to enter college and complete the Air Force ROTC program. You must be able to graduate and complete the ROTC program before June 30 of the year you turn 30. The Professional Officer Course (POC) Early Release Program is designed for those who can be commissioned before 35 years of age and can complete a bachelor’s degree within two years. See your Base Education Services Officer for more information.
