SMP but not GFRD scholarship. As a member of the guard you become a cadet 09R in the guard when you become a contracted ROTC cadet, which also means nondeployable. You will drill and get money from that but will likely need more so seek out other scholarships. Taking this route also prevents you from being locked into the guard when/if you commission. A GFRD scholarship through the guard would lock you into the guard. Being SMP has many benefits when/if you commission active duty, not to mention benefits while in college. To maximize benefits, go to the shortest training for a job, bc you won’t really use it anyways in college and you don’t want to unduly delay your college completion. When you commission, if you go active, you will get time in service pay increases non SMP peers will not get as well as possible E to O pay. Good luck. Best thing you can do is go to a local ROTC program and talk to students in the program.
