With Air Force ROTC, you can use the scholarship at any school that has AFROTC. Depending on the type of scholarship, there are limits to the dollar amount it will pay, which you can read more about on their website. For Army ROTC, you can list up to 7 schools, in order of preference, that you would like to attend that have the ROTC program. When awarded the scholarship, Cadet Command, will typically either tell you which school it is awarded to or give you a choice of up to 3 schools that you can pick from. In the past, they had offered more, but this year, I don't believe anybody was offered more than 3 schools to chose from. These may, or may not, be at the top of your list that you had submitted. With Navy ROTC, you list your choice of schools, in rank order. If you are awarded a scholarship, they will award it to one school only, based on if they program still has scholarship slots available. So if you are awarded a scholarship at the very beginning of the scholarship offer period, then you would get it to your top choice school. If you are awarded a scholarship very late in the scholarship period, your top choice schools maybe filled up already and then they would keep going down the list of your schools to try to find one that still has space. Each of these programs usually have multiple scholarship boards, so if your applications and submitted very early, you have more boards that you will have an opportunity to get a scholarship from.
