If you’re a noncommissioned officer who wants to pursue a master’s degree in science, engineering or management, here’s your chance.

But you have to act fast. Applications are due to the Air Force Personnel Center by Jan. 29. Successful applicants will be selected in February.

The Air Force Institute of Technology is offering 10 NCOs the chance to pursue those degrees at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, through the Enlisted-to-AFIT program.

The program is designed to provide commanders with a diverse and renewable source of highly proficient and educated career NCOs.

“Providing the opportunity for enlisted airmen to attend AFIT demonstrates the value and importance of education and force development,” Col. Mike Morris, AFPC assignment support division chief, said in a statement.
