About Air Force ROTC High School Scholarship Program
HSSP is an AFROTC route for high-school graduates to study and receive leadership training toward commissioning.
Applicants must complete the portal and meet citizenship, age, grades, testing, medical, and fitness standards in the year’s guide. The program uses major categories and participating universities; awards can depend on career-field priority. 2026–27 dates are published in the current Applicant Guide and portal, not older-cycle lists.
The published AY 2027–28 cycle lists December 11, 2026 for the initial application and December 22 for missing documents. Board 1 interviews were scheduled for October 16; if that date is not workable, immediately check Board 2 timing. Read the current applicant guide, gather transcripts and test records, apply through AFROTC.com, and confirm the school/major. Before accepting, discuss service and disenrollment terms with the detachment.
