I'm really only interested in the Army, but I do wish they had a program like that.

God I would do anything just to get a scholarship in general lol!

Try asking this on the Student Doctor Network in the Optometry forums. Great site! :thumb:

I know that NROTC-MO sideload scholarships are hard to come by. I emailed every Marine Officer Instructor at every school I was interested in (including VMI) and they all said it was unlikely to be awarded one in the future That being said, Kinnem's DS got one, so it is possible. Just not the...
