Thank you everyone. So if he enters the BU NROTC as a college programmer, what will set him up to stand out when he applies again in the Fall? Besides do his best in whatever they ask him to do in the NROTC, and academics, what else should he strive to do to prove himself to the Board again?

Yes through the portal.

Just got word this evening that my DS did not receive the NROTC Scholarship. He's very bummed. It said they would send us a letter to notify us of his options. What other options? I feel like the coordinator did not really know anything about the Scholarship program because he did not...

Just checked this evening and my DS was not selected for the NROTC Scholarship. They said we will receive a letter explaining our other options. Am I correct in understanding that he can still join the NROTC at Boston University and reapply while he is a Freshman? What other options?

Boy, your son acted early. Good for him. Wish we had as well, but we were going all over the place looking for who we needed to talk to. Eventually got a hold of our local Coordinator, but it seemed that he was just there temporarily, or that they move them around often. Sure enough, I...

Thank you so much for the link. We'll go through it for sure.

Thank you for making me a little less worried about a spot at BU. He has his heart set on BU. And yes, I had seen the board dates, so I guess we just have to wait till the end of April. My DS's application was FedEx'd to Pensacola on February 19th. No word yet. Thanks again for reassuring...

We filed before the last board date in February and still have not heard. In other posts I made, some with experience have said that they announce most of their scholarships by the end of April. I'm a bit lost on the whole process within the school. My son was accepted to BU and that's where...

Just curious. Did your son already receive his NROTC Scholarship and was placed at BU? My DS was accepted to BU, but we're still waiting to hear about the NROTC Scholarship. Of course we're praying, but I'm so confused as to what is covered and what is not should they get the scholarship...

Gotcha Percy. Boy I was freaking out. I found it. Still processing....UGH

Thank you. We really need this and we need it at Boston U. We're praying.

Thank you. So for clarification...if he didn't make the cut during the last February Board meeting, his application moves on to the next Board meeting in March and so on, until the very last Board meeting? I think there are only a couple of Board meetings left, so this might not look so good.

Can I ask when you submitted your application? We're still waiting for word for my son. Do they just let you know on the portal or an email? And do they still let you know in writing in portal that you did NOT get the scholarship?

I saw that there was a board from April 5-8. How does it work? If they don't get through a pile of applications during other boards, do they just move them to the next board meetings? Haven't others already received scholarships?

You mean like a separate email?

I was wondering the same thing. In my son's account, it used to have all his information and said Processing. Tonight we went in and that had all disappeared and there was only a new application to fill out. What's that about? Surely they will actually write something to you?

How do they let you know your son did not qualify? We're still waiting and we had been checking his portal and it said Processing. Tonight we checked again and now all his information is missing and the only thing there in his portal is a new application. What does that mean? Is that their...

Hello. How was your son informed that he was not selected? We have been waiting and it said Processing for a long time, but tonight we went in and all his information is gone and now there is just a new application in his account. Is that their way of telling us he didn't get the...

The information says that the Navy or the Coordinator would contact the teachers with forms to fill out once we gave them all the contact information, but my DS's Coordinator just wanted them to email their reference letters to him. So those questions they would ask them would not have been...

Thank you. I just found this on an ROTC Consulting website: The Navy ROTC scholarship application deadline is December 31, 2020. All application requirements must be submitted by this date. The following are the 2020-2021 Board Dates for the Navy ROTC Scholarship: 19-23 October 2020 16-20...
