I don't know how much this will help, considering I graduated high school in June of 2011 and got my scholarship in April of 2011. GPA: 2.8/4.0 Unweighted. SAT: 1400/1600 (650 E 750 M) Two AP classes (Macroecon/microecon) Three years of varsity wrestling. One year of cheerleading. One...

If all else fails, ruck to your host school.

Good grades will not be an issue for me. It's just that in light of recent military downsizing, I'm scared for the shrinking of the quota for active duty military officers and I want to do anything I can to guarantee an active duty slot.

Hello, I am currently a freshman a civilian institution in the 2nd brigade. I was awarded a 3-year AD scholarship back in the April of my senior year (2011) of high school to my school of choice because of my out-of-state status with the school. Would it be possible to move my scholarship over...

Thank you, Pima! In order to claim a minor in military science, I have to take military history courses?

Upon completing a school's ROTC program, are you awarded a minor in military science? I know this is true at Truman State in Missouri. Is it true for all schools?

Will this affect my 3 year AD scholarship?! I'm enrolling as a freshman next month.

Hello, friends! I'm currently an Army ROTC scholarship awardee starting college this fall. I got my scholarship back in April and since then, I've been so nervous about how I conduct myself in public. In no way am I implying that I was some sort of hooligan beforehand, I just get nervous over...

Hello, I have my DODMERB examinations this coming monday. I just logged onto the DODMERB site and inspected my final copy of the packet. For some reason, there are no Xs on any of the yes/no boxes. I entered "no" for everything. Is a blank the same thing as a "no" or should I proceed to manually...

So, I received multiple Army ROTC offers. The school I wish to attend gave me a 3-year offer and I plan on taking it. The first year without financial assistance will be really rough. I was just wondering if I fall under the stipend and book allowance benefits that ROTC scholarship awardees...

Thanks for the reassurance!

I'm considering the military as a career. It's just that the in-state school is ironically five hours further away than the out-of-state Rutgers. I live in NYC, so Rutgers is about 45 minutes way. Currently, I am talking about loans with my parents, and they're on board. $22,000 is nothing...

I have a bit over $13,000 in merit and grants a year. So, when my scholarship kicks in during my sophomore year, I can afford the room and board as well.

Well, Rutgers is about $36,000 a year after the inclusion of room and board. I have $8,000 a year in merit-based scholarship and $3,800 in Pell Grant and $1,420 in Rutgers Assistance Grant. That totals up to $13,220 in non-loan money. I don't know if I should take up about $20,000 in loans.

Also, by no way am I ungrateful for what Cadet Command has already given me. It's just that, this is a really big $22,000 bump on the road to accomplishing my dreams.
