Does anyone know the inside into the process and why it takes 2-4 weeks to release the names?
There are just a small number of people that process all this scholarship information and there are thousands of applications to process. The looming furloughs could come into play as well because those that process the scholarships are civilian government employees.
Being the final board they will have to go through all the awards that may have been declined, they will also need to figure out the allocation of scholarships to the individual schools based on availability.
It's really unknown whether the budget cuts are having an effect on the awards as well.
I would still start checking the status page towards the very end on March and beginning of April. Other then that just try and be patient, I completely understand how hard that can be. If your daughter does receive a scholarship, and even if she doesn't but still does ROTC, this will be only the beginning of the "Hurry up and wait" syndrome.
Just wondering if anyone knew when the next AROTC board decisions would be released...
Middle of May??? I sure hope notResponded on a similar thread as well - I spoke with someone in the Cadet Command office last week and was told the time frame for results coming out would be late March through the middle of May.
It's really hard for anyone on these forums to give an idea of how someone "stacks up"Middle of May? The grey hair may be gone by then!....
DS will be attending North Georgia (formerly NGCSU) or UGA. Any idea how he would stack up?
3.40 unweighted GPA with 8 AP classes

Good work and volunteer history...
Will major in International Studies/Russian
I've also been told that he had a perfect score on his interview... don't know how much that matters....
He's still being boarded for AFROTC, but feels like Army is his calling...
ROTC is his chosen path... scholarship would be icing on the cake.
I doubt middle of May is accurate. They know these kids are working to May 1 acceptance deadlines and I don't think they expect them to send a deposit to all the schools on their list to which they were accepted.
