Cadets become eligible for scholarships after successfully completing the DoDMERB medical exam, earning a minimum term GPA of 2.5 and a cumulative GPA of 3.0, passing the official Air Force Physical Fitness Assessment, and maintaining good standing with both the detachment and the university.
High school students may also qualify for the highly competitive High School Scholarship Program (HSSP), which offers three types of scholarships to outstanding applicants. Check out the HSSP site for more details.

The University of Tennessee now offers in-state tuition to all Air Force ROTC cadets, regardless of their state of residence.
