You get to keep all your bonus when commissioning. This is why I always tell people to reenlist for as much bonus as possible if they plan to commission

Unless things have changed, which I doubt, you keep your bonuses after being selected to any officer commissioning program.

I still had several months remaining on a bonus when I DC'ed, and I got to keep all of it. Typically, if you have an enlisted bonus and commission, you get to keep the bonus. However, these rules do change. I would ask your Specialty Branch Recruiter (whoever did your packet for the DC); they will be the ones up to date on the current rules.
