Scholarship criteria (Two Year Degree Scholarship):

Applicants must be a United States citizen
Be 17 years of age by October 1 of your freshman year and younger than 23 on June 30 of that year.

(In addition, you must not reach your 27th birthday by June 30 of the year in which you will graduate from college and receive your commission.) If you have prior active duty military service, you may be eligible for extension of this age requirement – the age is extended one year for each one year of military service. The maximum extension is three years which means you must be under 30 years of age on June 30 of the year you will graduate and receive your degree.
