    NROTC scholarship real value?

    good suggestion THanks olderdad as you make us stop and think about our DS. I also agree that there is not a student on here complaining about a scholarship. Pima, I disagree with you about insults or "vitriol" toward the Navy. I just don't read it that way. I am reading that there is...

    NROTC scholarship real value?

    So agree with tied to candidates I also think and wish it were that way! These kids work so hard to win one and I wish they could use it where they feel they fit best. It is hard to know that answer for sure when they apply in Aug/Sept.

    NROTC scholarship real value?

    Appreciate the honesty here There is much about this discussion that is honest. My DS just jumped off the SA rollercoaster, and now on to the NROTC scholarship roller coaster. This is stated in his information: "Applicants are asked to pick five colleges or universities on their...

    Is this true?

    Don't think so Don't think this is true for the USNA, either. There are too many that get the NROTC scholarship and then some end up with an appointment, not all, however. That is why the NROTC offers more, realizing that some accepted will end up with an appointment. There is a thread about...

    2011 NROTC Denied Acceptance Notifications?

    Ayce Deny? What do you mean "deny acceptance" of scholarship? Could you explain, please? Do you mean after a scholarship is offered, and it has been accepted, are you saying the the NROTC can turn around and deny the acceptance? I have never heard of that, but that may not be what you mean.

    America's latest Medal of Honor Recipient leaving the Army

    Amazing young man It appeared that being at the Super Bowl was not comfortable for him. What a humble and brave young man, and he has done enough. I can't imagine what he lived through and what he saw but whatever he chooses, he has my profound respect.

    Has DoDMERB site being down slowed appointments?

    I am just curious if the site being down for over 3 weeks has caused a slowdown in appointments to all academies, or if the pace of appointments at this time is what is normal for mid February? Thanks!

    Rolling Admission

    Switching?!?

    Schools that cost more If a school that you want to "move" your scholarship to, costs more than where the scholarship is assigned, should not be a factor. If you are awarded a say NROTC scholarship and let's say it is assigned to state school A and you want to move it to out of state school B...

    Rolling Admission

    Previous Discussion There was a previous discussion of this under the section, nominations, and the thread was titled Comptetitive or something like that. It has excellent explanations. Also, Yvonne is in the person who will let you know if the USNA will seek a waiver if your DS or DD if...
