Welcome to the official website for Air Force ROTC Detachment 550, the home of the Silver Falcons, located at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

We offer a challenging in-college program to develop quality leaders for the United States Air and Space Forces. The program offers:

Scholarships – Over 50% of our cadets receive academic scholarship support
Commission as a US Air Force or Space Force officer
Exciting leadership careers with purpose

AFROTC cadets prepare to become Air and Space professionals alongside their degree requirements.

The Program

Looking for something more from your college experience? AFROTC focuses on your leadership potential while investing only a few hours per week during school. Upon graduation, you will commission into a full time career as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Air or Space Force.

Scholarships

Focus on school, not paying for it.

High School Scholarship: Apply during summer through fall of senior HS year.
