318 319 Scholarship Opportunities AFROTC college scholarships are available on a competitive basis in both three-year and two-year awards. Scholarships are also awarded to all eligible juniors and seniors contracted in the program (POC Incentive Scholarship). All academic majors qualify for the POC Incentive Scholarship. Each of the above scholarships provide full tuition, laboratory and incidental fees, plus an allowance for curriculum-required textbooks. In addition, scholarship cadets receive a nontaxable $100 subsistence each month during the school year while on scholarship status. Eligible freshmen and sophomores should apply directly to the head of the Department of Aerospace Studies at the University of Utah. High school students should apply for four-year scholarships early in the fall of their senior year through their high school counselors or directly through the University of Utah AFROTC detachment. All scholarship recipients must complete English composition, mathematical reasoning, and foreign language course requirements as established by the AFROTC. Career Opportunities To meet the challenge of the aerospace age, its technological advances, and its ever-broadening horizons, officers possessing a variety of skills are required within the Air Force. Men and women who can meet the stringent demands of pilot or navigator training may command the aerospace forces of the future. The complexity of modern aviation, space technology and communications generates a critical need for first rate engineers, scientists and computer scientists. Officers are also needed in nontechnical, general management degree areas. In all fields, the Air Force assigns young officers to responsible positions early in their careers. After being called to active duty, cadets will serve four years minimum. Navigators serve six years and pilots eight years, after completion of flight training. There are 200 different career fields in the Air Force. A few examples include development engineer, system program manager, computer analyst, logistician, missile launch officer, and civil engineer. Benefits include a good starting salary, about $26,000, commissary and exchange privileges, free medical and dental care, free legal service, inexpensive life insurance, 30 days annual vacation with pay, unlimited sick leave with pay, travel opportunities, eligibility for VA housing loans, advanced educational opportunities, and an outstanding retirement plan. Future Educational Benefits If cadets complete the AFROTC program and receive commissions, they may request a delay in call to active duty if they desire to continue studies toward a graduate degree before going on active duty. The length of the delay depends upon current AFROTC regulations and directives. You can continue your education through a variety of Air Force programs once on active duty. Most bases have extensive on-base graduate college programs. The Tuition Assistance Program will pay up to 75 percent of your tuition costs. The Air Force Institute of Technology provides full-time graduate study for selected officers. Some classes are taught in residence at the institute's campus at Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio and others at civilian universities. Selected AFROTC graduates enter some of the institute's scientific and engineering graduate programs as second lieutenants following graduation. Many make the Armed Forces their career, but some plan to use the skills and training obtained in military service in civilian jobs. Most private businesses and government agencies require the same basic skills that are needed for functional support and administra tion jobs in military service. Air Force training and experience provides excellent leadership skills and can be a valuable asset in obtaining civilian employment. Special Requirements To qualify as a pilot or navigator, a cadet must be able to finish the Aerospace Studies program and graduate from the university before age 26-1/2. Other cadets must complete the military program and graduate from the University prior to reaching the age of 30. Scholarship recipients must fulfill commissioning requirements before reaching age 25 on June 30 of the year of commissioning. Degree and Programs Offered Through This Department The Air Force ROTC at Weber State University offers a program leading to a commission in the United States Air Force upon completion of specific requirements. These include meeting all requirements for a degree according to the university as well as completing all Air Force Professional Officer Course and commissioning requirements. Interested students should contact the Aerospace Studies Department for information on Air Force specialist fields related to their academic major.
