You mentioned help with an essay but the HSSP application doesn't have a section for this. Is it before/after you get selected for an interview? Were you a PAS at a school and if so, can I ask how long ago? thanks!
Great information thank you! After submitting for the October board, our son was just " reboarded" for the January board. Based on your video, it seems he may be considered for the space force. Is that a decent assumption?
Great information and thank you very much for putting this together! I did take my son up to Marquette University and visited their AFROTC. How does data science fit into criticality or does it not?
Data Science is a technical major with a criticality level of 2. You can find out the criticality levels of all majors in the AY25-26 Air Force ROTC HSSP Scholarship Applicant Guide.
This is super helpful, thank you so much. there are a couple things I am a little confused on 1. Do you think most type 1 scholarships will be awarded to critical rating 1-2 majors? I am curious whether the criticality rating matters as much as other factors (such as whether your major is technical or not) when it comes to scholarship selection. 2. If I wanted to pursue a non-technical major (such as psychology), is there an estimation for what gpa/sat/etc. would be required in order to compensate for the lack of a technical major in order to be awarded a type 1 scholarship? Does this even happen?
Did you know that due to budget limitations, in 2024 the USAF is not funding tuition for 5th year students in CSAF approved STEM majors? No official word has been passed by HQ USAF, funding was just stopped without any explanation. Figured it would be important for anyone researching the ROTC program to know about this in advance. We were not informed and the funding was cut after the deadlines for any possible alternatives were available. Not a great way to retain high quality men and women in the Service.
Does the SAT/ACT score still deter whether you can apply or not if you have 13 college credit hours? I saw a 4 year old video saying the SAT scores wouldn’t matter if you did have those credit hours.

Good luck in your application and beyond

SAT ACT scores will likely be considered still
What would an aviation major be on the scale? Thank you
Aviation is a non-technical major. Air Force ROTC does not classify non-technical majors in terms of criticality other than Russian and Mandarin.
