    Portal updated to reflect a "sorry, no scholarship" status today. Disappointed but moving onto plan B. Congrats to the winners and good luck to those still waiting!

    VA Tech Emerging Leaders Scholarship

    Received the same email yesterday, all out-of-state cadets will be receiving the ELS. I remember getting an email earlier in the year from the commandant stating that it was likely that all incoming cadets would qualify for and receive the scholarship, and that was before the deadline to apply...

    Advice for Athletics

    Having been a competitive swimmer for some 12 years, I can say with assurance that swimming is not an easy sport to "pick up."

    College Program with DQ?

    Hello all, I'm currently awaiting from news from Pensacola regarding NROTC scholarship... And have been doing so for a while (like everyone else)! If I do wind up being awarded the scholarship, however, I will likely be medically DQ'd due to asthma issues- not current, but past the age of 13...
