You need to be off one year before enrolling on scholarship. Enrolling in the program off scholarship might be a different question, I don't know the answer to that.

You need to be off them for one year before you CAN be cleared (waiver approved), which you have to be to activate any scholarship. With force-shaping, only cadets on scholarship are certain to comission (provided they meet academic & physical fitness standards). You can always enroll in the classes but you may "waste" a year if you don't get cleared. I hadn't been on them for years and still got DQ'd. You may want to look at Army as waivers are easier to come by in Army.

Right now in AFROTC, scholarship or not your odds of commissioning are the same. Everyone has to compete for an FT slot, and if you get through FT, you are going to commission unless you jack up and get a DUI or something. As for the original question, ask the admissions officer or any other cadre member at the det you are going to and they can tell you the info you need or find it out for you. |

That's what I used to think until I was corrected on another forum here by someone with more up-to-date info. Under scholarship means under contract. There are just more officers than they need and those with low GPAs, PFT scores, etc., are being asked to go in as A1Cs. |
