Did you know that there are over 1,000 colleges and universities that participate in Air Force and Space Force ROTC?

Note that some of these programs have cross-town affiliations, meaning the school itself does not host AFROTC, but students from the college or university travel to another campus to participate in AFROTC.

Prefer a searchable version? Our ROTC school directory is the database behind lists like this one: filter every program by school name, state, branch, and host or crosstown status.

AFROTC Scholarship Winner Benefits

Some of these colleges offer extra incentives for High School Scholarship Program (HSSP) winners.

Most commonly, this includes free room and board directly from the college. Families should pay extra attention to these incentives, as scholarship winners who take advantage of these opportunities can commission with little to no out of pocket costs. 

We’ve created a complete list of the colleges that offer Air Force incentives here.
