Uniforms, lodging, and meals are provided at no cost to the cadet and cadets travel at Air Force expense to and from the cadet's home of record or school. The advanced training program provides cadets with specialized and individual professional development. The learning experience is like an intern program in which cadets are placed at Air Force bases to acquaint them with life, duties and responsibilities of Air Force people. This is a voluntary program that provides an important transition for a cadet between training and commissioning. Cadets are assigned to Air Force bases normally for two or three weeks.
Limited opportunities are also available for parachuting, glider and survival training courses.
Base visits give cadets a firsthand look at operational Air Force bases. Each group of cadets is accompanied by an Air Force ROTC instructor who adds personal knowledge of the Air Force mission to the cadets' base-visit experience. This program is beneficial to the education and training of Air Force ROTC cadets because it develops an appreciation of the Air Force professional environment Scholarships Current emphasis in the Air Force ROTC college scholarship program is to award scholarships to candidates pursuing undergraduate engineering or other scientific and technical disciplines. Nearly 90 percent of Air Force ROTC scholarships are awarded in these disciplines. However, students in every degree program enjoy scholarship opportunities, as the Air Force seeks to engage students who excel both academically and militarily.
