The Airman Education and Commissioning Program offers active-duty enlisted Airmen the
opportunity to attend college full time, complete degree requirements and earn a
commission through Air Force ROTC. “Airmen selected for this program must pursue one of
the Air Force’s sought-after technical degrees and join an Air Force ROTC program,”
said Col. Steve Wayne, Air Force ROTC national commander. Airmen selected remain on
active duty and are administratively assigned to an Air Force ROTC detachment, he said.
They receive full pay and benefits, a scholarship of up to $15,000 per year for tuition
and fees and an annual textbook allowance of $600. Airmen may participate from one to
three years, depending on their major, previous academic preparation and age. They
attend school year-round except for one summer of field training. For more information
