Scholarships and other benefits
AFJROTC cadets who choose to continue their education may receive special consideration for AFROTC scholarships. Many of these scholarships will pay for two, three or four years of tuition, books and fees at numerous universities and colleges and allow cadets to pursue studies in various technical and non-technical majors. In school year 2007-2008, 372 out of 515, or 72.23 percent, qualified AFJROTC cadets received AFROTC scholarships during the scholarship selection board process. The overall select rate for all applicants was 50 percent.

Cadets completing two years of AFJROTC and who continue AFROTC in college may waive one term of the AFROTC program. Students completing three years in AFJROTC may receive credit for a full year of college-level AFROTC.

In addition, cadets electing to enter the military immediately after graduating from high school are eligible to enlist in the services at one to two pay grades higher than other enlistees. Students completing three years in AFJROTC are eligible to enter the Air Force two pay grades higher than other enlistees and are automatically enrolled into the Community College of the Air Force to receive college credit toward an associate degree.
