You will agree to:

  • Enroll in the academic major for which the scholarship is offered.
  • Enroll in Air Force ROTC beginning with the 2018 fall term.
  • Complete a 24-day summer field training course at Maxwell AFB, Alabama (usually between your sophomore and junior years).

The University of Nebraska at Omaha will offer a Housing Scholarship to ROTC students admitted or enrolled who are eligible for a Regents Scholarship and have been awarded an Air Force ROTC Scholarship.  The UNO ROTC Housing Scholarship would cover the cost of housing for 12 months and would be offered in lieu of the Regents Scholarship. The ROTC Housing Scholarship is renewable and a student may hold it for up to four years.  ROTC Housing Scholarship recipients who opt out of the ROTC program, but remain enrolled at UNO, would have the Regents Scholarship reinstated, assuming that renewal criteria had been met.

Also, University of Nebraska at Omaha offers a ROTC Living Community on Campus for students to live in:  http://www.unomaha.edu/student-life/housing-and-residential-life/residential-learning-communities.php
