For more information, see the Scholarship section in the front of this catalog. Uniforms and textbooks for both the General Military Course and Professional Military Course are provided by the Air Force. Before graduation, nonscholarship cadets must complete a 3-credit course in mathematical reasoning. Nonscholarship cadets must receive a field training allocation prior to age 30 to be commissioned as Air Force officers. Some commissioned officers continue advanced studies through the fully-funded Air Force Institute of Technology programs.
Special provisions are available for medical, law, and meteorology students.
Students are paid varying amounts for each of these training periods. This pay is in addition to travel pay to and from the field training location.
