Scholarships for Outstanding Airmen to ROTC (SOAR):

The Scholarships for Outstanding Airman to ROTC (SOAR) offers active duty enlisted personnel the opportunity to earn a commission while completing their bachelor's degree as an Air Force ROTC cadet.

Those selected separate from the active duty Air Force, join an Air Force ROTC detachment and become a full-time college student. The Air Force provides them with a tuition/fees scholarship of up to $18,000 per year, an annual textbook allowance of $900, and a monthly nontaxable stipend of $250-$500. Students may not pay the difference to attend higher cost schools. This scholarship will be awarded for two to four years, depending on how many years you have remaining in your bachelor's degree program. Airmen with some or no college credit may apply for the program. A limited number of SOAR selects will be offered a scholarship with no tuition cap.

This program is open to students in ANY MAJOR.

Upon graduation and completion of the program, you will be commissioned as a second lieutenant and will then be returned to active duty (typically within 60 days of commissioning) with military obligation of 4 yrs active/4 yrs Reserves.

The deadline for waivers is 15 July 2010, so please do not delay.
