Military funded college question?

Let's suppose someone is enrolled in college. A good public university, but not affiliated with the military (such as University of Virginia, for example). Is it possible to sign a contract with the military promising (for example) 4 years of service on the condition that they pay for your college while you finish it off first? The biggest questions here are if they will let you finish college (paid for and all) before working in the military, and if this can happen with any public university rather than special military schools. For the intentions of this question, is it possible specifically to do this with the Air Force?

    The military has a program where they pay for people to go to college in exchange for a set period of military service--it's called an ROTC scholarship.

    The military isn't going to pay for you to go to school in exchange for you enlisting. ROTC (as the name implies) is an officer training program, so you are expected to be an officer when you graduate.

    It's not like this is some sort of secret. Every year tens of thousands of kids figure out how to apply for one.

    AFROTC is the option at some colleges as you are asking about the AF. ROTC is Army and NROTC is Navy/Marines. You need to meet all the requirements to qualify for it. They do not always fully pay for college. You would be required to do 8 years after getting your degree

    Nope. Well.....there are ROTC scholarships but they are hard to get and you do Army training while you go to shool. You aren't completely not military at that point.

    I went in on a program that paid off loans then had the GI Bill to finish school when I got out. I managed to take a few courses while I served but that wasn't easy either.

    That's what ROTC is for. You do military services as a reservist on campus, and then a commitment to future service after graduation.
