The Airman Scholarship and Commissioning Program (ASCP) lets airmen compete for Air Force ROTC scholarships through the Air Force ROTC unit they are interested in attending. 

Both scholarship programs are available in two to four year lengths. To be eligible for a scholarship airmen must be working on their first bachelor's degree and cannot exceed age limits as prescribed by public law.

The Professional Officer Course Early Release Program (POC-ERP) is available to airmen who may not be eligible for a scholarship. Qualified airmen receive an early release from their enlistments to enroll in ROTC.

For all three programs, airmen must separate from active duty in order to enter college and enroll in the program.

Airmen may also apply for Airmen Education and Commissioning Program (AECP). AECP allows airmen to stay on active duty while pursuing their degree full-time. AECP students will attend Officer Training School (OTS) after graduation.

More information about these programs can be obtained from Air Force base education offices.
