ROTC
AIR FORCE ROTC
The United States Air Force offers Air Force ROTC courses at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU). The procedures for registering for ROTC courses are the same as registering for any other 完美体育官网- Cookman University course. The student simply signs up for the ROTC course during registration. Transportation will be provided from 完美体育官网-Cookman to ERAU (and back) for the AFROTC courses. AFROTC may be taken for academic credit only if a student so desires. Any student may enroll in a freshman or sophomore AFROTC course, not just individuals who wish to become commissioned officers in the USAF. The junior and senior AFROTC courses are available to only those students who have committed themselves to becoming commissioned officers. Remember, students who take the freshman and/or sophomore ROTC courses are under no obligation to the Air Force. A student may withdraw from an AFROTC course following the same procedures as one would in dropping any other university course. Upon graduation, those students wishing to pursue a commission in the Air Force and who successfully complete AFROTC receive commissions as officers in the United States Air Force. Any qualified student may pursue this opportunity provided he or she has a minimum of four semesters remaining at the University. AFROTC courses, incidentally, are not offered at ERAU during the summer semester. The curriculum offers choices however, of either a two- or fouryear program.
Air Force Scholarships
Air Force ROTC (AFROTC) offers scholarships covering a student's college education for two, three, and four years. Each scholarship pays for full tuition (up to $18,000 per year), laboratory, fees, textbooks, and also includes a monthly tax-free subsistence allowance. Three and four-year scholarships are available, on a competitive basis, to high school seniors. Students never enrolled in a college or university as full-time students are eligible for the four-year scholarship, provided they can complete their four-year degree before their 31st birthday. High school students interested in a four-year scholarship must apply to Air Force ROTC Headquarters, Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama 36112, before December 1 of their senior year. Application forms for the scholarship are available at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama 36112, before December 1 of their senior year. Application forms for the scholarship are available online at .

Finances
Textbooks for all AFROTC courses are free. Students enrolled in the POC receive a $350-$400 per-month tax-free subsistence allowance. In addition, those attending summer field training receive travel pay to and from the Air Force base hosting the session, free room and board, and pay while attending the session.
Air Force ROTC Four year Program
Enrollment procedures for the first two years of the four-year program, the General Military Course (GMC), are the same as for any other college program. The student simply selects the appropriate AFROTC class during registration. Students in the GMC are under no obligation to the Air Force and may withdraw from the class in the same manner as they might withdraw from any course. Those who decide to continue in the final two years, the Professional Officer Course (POC), receive a monetary allowance and incur an obligation to serve in the Air Force upon graduation/commissioning. Prior to entering the POC, each student must pass a medical examination, receive a competitive score on the Air Force Officer Qualifying Tes
