    Reapplication for AROTC scholarship

    Thanks for your input. She was in ROTC and plans to continue, whether she gets a scholarship or not. The scholarship is not about the money, she's always wanted a military career. Hopefully she can prove herself to her cadre and win back the campus scholarship. She's certainly not the first...

    Reapplication for AROTC scholarship

    My daughter received the 4-year AROTC federal scholarship for last year, gave it up to go to a different college and was given a 4-year school scholarship instead. She never contracted and struggled her freshman year and lost her scholarship. Does anyone know the likelihood of getting the...

    AROTC Height and Weight Question

    Is the Special Athlete Program only at the Academies, or at any school that has the scholarship? I'm wondering if my daughter would be exempt if she's playing two varsity sports?

    AROTC Height and Weight Question

    Are you playing football in college? My nephew plays football at West Point and there's no way he's under the weight limit. I think they must make exceptions.

    AROTC Height and Weight Question

    That's what my daughter, who will be a Varsity athlete in 2 sports in college, was told as well. They will do the tape test at the first APFT when you get to school. The RO at my daughter's school said if you're 5-10 pounds over and pass tape, no problem. If you get more than 10 pounds over...

    ROTC=Higher Chance of College Admission?

    We were under this impression as well, as was the CO at the school to which my DD signed her scholarship letter. We found out afterward (when she wasn't accepted) that the admissions office has to be blind to all outside scholarships when they make their decision. So, I agree with above...

    Awards Night

    Well - that may be the problem then. Still haven't nailed down the school she's going to. We had a glitch with her first choice school. I'm glad so many have had that experience! Congratulations to everyone!

    Awards Night

    My daughter's high school didn't acknowledge it at her awards' ceremony, either. And we're in driving distance from GA Tech, too! She was acknowledged at her MCJROTC banquet but there wasn't a rep from the Army there. :frown: Glad it worked out for your daughter!

    April AROTC Board

    Unfortunately my daughter had a last minute change of mind and didn't want to go to a military college which is what she'd put down for most of her choices. So, she's been scrambling since being awarded the scholarship to apply to schools that are not military schools and the one she really...

    Good luck to everyone! My DD has the scholarship, we just can't get the school situation ironed out. This whole process is sooooo stressful! I wish you all much luck.

    You might try calling the Cadre at the 1st choice school. When my DD got her scholarship she first found out by getting an email from the school's LTC. It was days later she found out from CC. They might be able to look it up for you. Good luck - I know this whole process is so harrowing...

    Yeah, I did it 3 or 4 times and it kept saying that. I just checked it now and it was back to saying "you have accepted a scholarship at ____". So, I guess maybe it was just down for a time.

    That happened to me just now when looking up my daughter's and my daughter's had previously said "Scholarship accepted at ___". So, it's not necessarily a problem, I don't think.
