These scholarships to the academies are valued at over $450,000 each. NOTE -Enrollment in AFJROTC does not subject your student to any military obligation and is not tied to an accessions or recruiting program. However, if a student takes a minimum of three years of AFJROTC and decides to enlist in the US Armed Forces, he/she will be promoted to E-3 after boot camp in the Army, Navy, or Air Force. This is two ranks above the normal. The Marines will award E-2.
