NROTC Scholarship

I also received a NROTC 4-year scholarship today. It came through e-mail and mail. It was to my first choice school Georgia Institute of Technology for a tier I major of aerospace engineering.

Hey congrats and Go Jackets! (I'm an alum. BCE '85)

Don't worry, AE is one of the jock majors at GT:wink: (Sean Bedford, starting center, BSAE '10)
 
NROTC dates

For others who may be wondering how the timing works, my son was notified on Friday (11/4) by email that he had received the NROTC scholarship. His status was updated when he checked it online as well. His letter and DoDMERB application arrived in the mail today (11/7); his letter is dated 10/27/11. His acceptance must be received by 11/18, so that's only 11 days from now. He is supposed to contact the doctors for appointments within 5 days of receipt of the letter.

Again - I know I've read questions about the timing of some of the processes, so thought I'd share.

My best to all!
 
Jiller59: When did your DS have his application completed? My DS submitted his application online in early October, but his last item (a teacher eval) was not submitted and received until yesterday, at which time his entire application package was submitted to CNRC.

He submitted his application and had his Naval Officer interview at the very end of August. Everything on his app was complete at that time. I think there was a September Board Review but it appears he was selected during the October review. Extend our best wishes to your son!
 
Thank you jiller59

Gerat information... That would have been the 2nd. board given the dated time period and some information I got on Tuesday. The 3rd board ended Nov.3... As of 11/8 that release did not hit the streets. I was sitting in the regional center with my son and this was their latest and greatest information. As we understood it there should be up to a total of 14 boards from start until the end it in April.
 
Does anyone know if there was a scholarship selection board that meet on 11/7 and have the selection notifications been sent out yet? What is the date for the next board?
 
I think my son received his nrotc scholarship at the nov board- he was notified Nov 17. Made for a happy thanksgiving! Good luck to those who are waiting!
 
Official notification is by Big Fat Envelope or Thin White Envelope. In case of BFE it is not uncommon to also here via email or even phone call.
 
Ds first learned of scholarship by checking application online... Stated congrats... You have been selects for a 4 yr nrotc scholarship- a few days later he got an email and a week later a letter in the mail.
 
NROTC Status

My son's status was: no decision has been made.
But I went in a few minutes ago, it is BLANK!
should I worry?
 
NO!

The system must get updated/upgraded. They are probably doing just that.

Understand that does not equate to a change for him, it just means they are working on the system.

If results are being released in a few hours posters will chime in with results.
 
Thanks for the information. Is there a web page where they show the dates of the upcoming selection boards? It seems to be highly classified information.
 
^^^ Yes, unfortunately the Navy does consider it classified information. The only place you can even find rumors about the dates is here. :biggrin: If you were to check all recent posts by PFlyingJ17 (I think I have that right) you might find a list of unofficial dates. Not certain though. My memory is getting feeble, or I was told to forget them right after I saw them.
 
Again thanks for the info and grats to your son or daughter I wish them the best.
 
I got a normal business envelope with a two page letter outlining the terms of my scholarship (scholarship usable at Norwich University *only*, *must* enroll with a Tier 1 major, *must* return the acceptance questionnaire, etc) and a short statement on the third page explaining that they didn't have the money for the big fancy envelope and nice introductory booklet this year. I had to download the booklet from the internet and print it out.

I believe NROTC only begins DoDMERB after the scholarship is awarded, so if "Navy ROTC" pops up on the DoDMERB status page, it's a good sign.
 
Can anyone tell me when the selection board last meet. I believe there was one the w/o 11/7. Have there been any since and when is the next one scheduled?
 
Yes...this week

My kid was on the phone today updating his newest SAT score and schools. He was told that there will be a board this week.
