This is correct. Look up "college programmer" on the military forums. I think there is a route to join while in college.
I would push him towards the NROTC route hard. One thing you need to find out is if he has the grades and standardized test scores to be eligible for the scholarship. Not sure if this is the best resource but this is what I found in a quick search:

I would also tell him to go pick a school and a degree that has the ROTC program he wants to be in. Don't dwell on the degree but there are preferred degrees by ROTC, you should read up on that. I.e. engineering vs. art history.
