In this episode, we discuss significant updates to the Air Force ROTC High School Scholarship Program (HSSP) for the application year 2024-2025. Key changes include:

Reintroduction of the Type 2 Scholarship: After a period of offering only the Type 1 scholarship, the Air Force ROTC has reintroduced the Type 2 scholarship, which provides $18,000 annually toward tuition, significantly less than the full-tuition coverage of Type 1.

Major Selections and Criticality Ratings: A new criticality rating system from one to four prioritizes majors during the scholarship selection process, emphasizing certain technical and language majors over others.

Key Points:

• The Type 2 scholarship offers limited financial coverage compared to the Type 1, affecting choices for attending private or out-of-state public schools.

Financial Considerations:

• States like Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, North Dakota, Texas, and Oklahoma offer in-state tuition rates to ROTC scholarship recipients, which can mitigate the financial gap for Type 2 recipients.
