JBROWERDALLAS-Good luck to your son! Hoping here that his waiver comes through.

If you are applying for NROTC-MO, you're waiver might not be denied as there is not a hard and fast timeline. The MOI at the university told my DS that as long as he is released by his doctor for physical activity and can participate in all of ROTC he is good to go while we are waiting for the...

My son submitted a detailed statement of physical activity in a letter format with information regarding all of his activities. There were no specifications as to the format required. His was in paragraph form with details regarding type of activity, duration, frequency, and difficulty. As...

My son had the same surgery in 2010 on the left shoulder and 2011 on the right shoulder, for the same reason-football. He is fully recovered. While we did request the full medical history on both shoulders as well as a letter from his surgeon in advance, he did not take it with him to his...

My son is in a similar situation due to shoulder surgery with 100% recovery and full release. He has an NROTC MO scholarship. The waiver authority has asked him to submit additional medical information in February in order to fully consider the waiver. Because of the rigor of the Marine's...

Those students who attend a small high school may indeed be able to letter varsity in their chosen sport all 4 years. However, they will have very few sport choices in comparison to a large high school, and if they are lucky their school will offer an AP course. They will not be able to put on...

From Kinnem's link: "The following eligibility requirements must be met by all students applying for a two-year NROTC scholarship: AGE: Must be at least 17 and under 27 years of age by June 30 of the year you expect to complete training requirements. Must also be a citizen of the United...

Great point Pima. I think he will make it through with academic merit award and summer earnings. That's my hope anyway, but I will double check with the bursars office to be sure.

Updating my own thread now after having spoken with my sons contact in Pensacola, and with his MOI, it looks like his scholarship will still be intact, following a successful waiver process in February 2013. Thankfully with the ROTC programs they do not lose their scholarships just because the...

I am hoping that someone has had some experience with this subject just so that we might get an idea of what to expect with regard to an NROTC Marine Option scholarship. My son was DQ'd by DODMERB in mid-May-history of shoulder dislocation, surgically repaired. We received notice back from...

Prepmom-DODMerb has been very helpful with my son's waiver process. I had questions regarding submitting additional medical record information, when to do so, etc. They referred me to his case manager, with a direct number, and she has answered all my questions and confirmed that information...

It would be a very good idea to also check directly with the engineering program regarding whether or not you will transfer in and be able to complete your program within two years if you are hoping for a two year rotc scholarship. During my son's college visit, we found that while the...

I believe that a link to the online form for the teacher reference will be emailed to them once you submit the application, not before. I think that there is also a pdf version that can be emailed to the teacher if they have trouble with the link. However, your application has to be submitted...

Try checking your status after 48 hours. Granted my DS's was not for a transfer/waitlist, but the acceptance email that he received said to only send in one acceptance questionnaire and that the status would be updated within 48 hours by NETC. We checked, and it was updated with the...

Yes, you are correct. My son did not have someone from the marine's review his application before submitting it. But I did review it several times, and he had a few other people review it along with his essays. Once submitted that marine scholarship coordinator was very helpful and responsive...
