Abstract:

The costs of the Air Force Reserve officer Training Corps AFROTC College Scholarship Program CSP are growing more rapidly than program funding. Unless the trend is reversed, AFROTC will have to make difficult choices about how to allocate available scholarship funds. The study assesses the impact of growing CSP costs and recommends changes in CSP policies to help insure its effectiveness as a recruiting tool. Spiraling college tuitions are identified as the primary cause of higher CSP costs. Real world constraints, such as the difficult recruiting environment and political considerations, also influence CSP policies and sometimes contribute to higher costs. The study recommends that AFROTC 1 limit the per student costs by directing scholarship selectees to attend lower cost schools, and 2 prioritize CSP programs based on specific factors which measure recruiting efficiency, and use that information to eliminate marginal CSP programs.
