AIR FORCE RESERVE OFFICERS TRAINING CORPS (AFROTC)

For course enrollment and deadlines please click our site at www.tnstate.edu/rotc

Students may participate in the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) at Detachment 790 on the campus of Tennessee State University. AFROTC provides precommissioning training to college students (male and female) who desire to serve as officers in the U.S. Air Force (USAF).

High school students may also apply for the AFROTC College Scholarship Program online at www.AFROTC.com. The application deadline is typically December 1 of your senior year. Detailed eligibility requirements are available on the AFROTC.com website.

As AFROTC cadets, the majority of students will earn scholarships that may cover all or a significant portion of tuition costs. In addition, cadets earn a monthly stipend of up to $400 and up to $600 per academic year to pay for textbooks.

We require cadets to attend AFROTC classes in uniform one day per week. One summer, typically between the sophomore and junior year, cadets must attend a four-week military training session. The combination of USAF military education, training, and college-level curriculum gives cadets a broad-based knowledge of management, leadership, and technical skills.

Although the USAF will accept students from any accredited academic major, there is a critical need for engineers (all disciplines) and meterologists. Upon graduation, cadets will earn USAF commissions as Second Lieutenants and must serve a minimum of four years on active duty.
