Streamlined Answer: 1) OSO is your go-to for all assistance. 2) Recruiter at the RSS needs to "see you" constantly. Show up for all Poolee events starting at a "minimum" 1 year out from submitting your Application. 3) Pay attention to detail and ASK Questions from your OSO or RSS Detachment...

We LOVVVVVED the Penn State NROTC Detachment, and DS' Mom is Alumni. Visited the Building/Office and at the Football tailgate. DS interviewed with them as well and was Selected.

I love this and I wish this was uniform across all NTAG's but it is not. Especially in a metro area of 5.5 million people. My DS' graduating class last year had 1 USMA, 1 USNA, 2 AROTC, and 1 NROTC, 1 AFROTC and it was "Crickets".

YES, Capt Meyers is Spot On "TURN IN YOUR BEST APPLICATION" NOT "Turn it in the quickest". Here are 3 Quick Hits: 1) Take the SAT/ACT again and again with the Final Being in August of Senior Year, and the application will also include another Summer of work (paid or volunteer) and...

The Navy still needs a lot of Nurses. Even though the amount of Nurse Option Scholarships may not reflect that. You still have the Navy Nurse Candidate Program (NCP) Route. You can attend ANY Accredited Nursing School in the USA. You can apply in January of your Sophmore Year. No NROTC...

Marine Corps PLC Program is "Contracting" College Freshman in Aviation "Who Qualify". The Marines need Pilots badly. The F/A-18 is being phased out by 2030 for the F-35B/C versions. Those current F/A-18 Pilots who do not want to transition to the F-35 and are getting out. Leaving a huge void...

ALL Recruiters are NOT THE SAME and do not all have the same or best quality info. Our CPO at our local NTAG was, unfortunately, useless and he did was forward the original signed paperwork. Turn in the best application you can, the highest SATs, More extracurriculars, another summer of high...

DS was a Florida Bright Futures FAS at 100% and qualifying for that Scholarship Makes you "EXTREMELY" competitive for NROTC and DS was awarded a 4-Year Nay Nurse Option, the most competitive. I don't understand why you say you do not have a realistic chance. I mentor quite a few kids and I know...

Herm is "spot on". DS was awarded the NROTC-Nurse Option 4-Year and Accepted at his #1 "BIG 10" School. Yeah, it's a "Full Academic Ride" but Room/Board/Meal plan and flights from Florida, misc expenses, etc. had us out $25,000.00+ a year, with NO additional money from said school. NOPE.

I agree with my brother above and will go further to say a female US Marine Ground Officer NROTC-MO Graduate coming off Active Duty with an MBA would be a fantastic Resume if she wants to leave active duty after her 4-year NROTC-MO commitment. I have a female Marine Officer contact who mentors...

PM me for all things Navy Nursing, both NROTC and NCP, we have been through it and can maybe help you.

DS or DD Did NOT Accept the awarded scholarship, so now an Alternate can grab it.

We got the "Nurse Option" Alternate #2 from a member of this forum. We were not notified officially. PM me for details.

My DS last year was a Navy "Nurse Option" Alternate #2 on the list. Boarded the first week of January 2022 and selected for Nurse Option Scholarship on April 6, 2022.

Any ROTC student without a Tuition Scholarship is NOT eligible for the Patriot Scholarship.
