Army ROTC March 2013 Board

Got One!

Got a scholarship! School listed on portal was St. John's University! Doesn't say whether its a 3 or 4 year. Can't wait for the letter in the mail! Literally jumped in my chair when I saw it!
 
Portal notes DS has an AROTC scholarship to VMI. No note re: 3 or 4 year. He also applied for UNG and the Citadel - assuming that details of other schools could also be included in the letter.
 
Does the information on the portal change for everyone at the same time? My son's hasn't changed yet so is this a bad sign that he didn't get a scholarship?

My understanding is that decisions can continue to come out for the next 4 to 6 weeks.
 
School Change

When I filled out the ROTC application, I had already committed to Columbia University to run, but I had to put 2 other schools on the application so I put Rutgers and Princeton. On the portal it said I was given the scholarship to Princeton. I heard the portal only lists one but it is in alphabetical order. Does this mean I did not get it to Columbia? Any help is appreciated!!

From past threads I've seen, it doesn't appear to always be in alpha order - so think the only confirmation will be when the actual letter arrives.
 
I am just a lurker but this forum has been an invaluable guide. My son's portal was just updated and he has received a scholarship to his 2nd choice.

We also just happen to be visiting the program today so he doesn't even know yet. We planned the visit weeks ago so it isn't related to the scholarship.

Thanks again everyone for the sage advice you offer here.

Since the letters have been sent you might want to call the Battalion at Columbia and ask the ROO if you received a scholarship for their Battalion. They should be able to look it up and tell you.
 
I am new to this site as well to how the ROTC works. My son applied and wanted to check on his status, but I am unclear where to go to sign into the proper "portal"? Stupid question maybe but he is very excited to find out if he will get a scholarship.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

If things follow the last board when they waited until the letters were sent to update the status pages, most of the updates will be made today and tomorrow.

Last board almost all the updates were done in one day, but the updates started earlier in the day, so they may take today and tomorrow.

The results don't trickle out over 4 to 6 weeks, almost all are done in the two day period. There may be a few given from now until May1st since some applicants may decline the scholarship.

Since the letters have been sent by Cadet Command you can always call the #1 choice Battalion and ask the ROO if you received a scholarship to the school, they should be able to see this information and let you know.

Good Luck
 
Hi-

Start with this link:

https://schlr4yr.usarmyrotc.com/scholarshipstatus/generalInfo.asp

click on "Return to Home Page"

click on the "click here" (after the sentence: "To request the status of your scholarshp application")

Enter social security number of applicant
Enter birthdate of applicant

Click on "Submit Request"

Good Luck!

Remember, Cadet Command does not update the applicant portals all at once, it is a "batch" process and there could be some "straglers" for some weeks to come (based on other recent comments).
 
Portal states I received one to Northeastern University, which was my first choice school!

Doesnt say type or how many years though. Need to wait for letter probably.
 
Thank you,

I tried that link and it just states they are having trouble processing your request and gives a phone number. I don't know if we should call it or just wait a day or two longer?

They are probably overloaded with people checking their status. The system always seems to have issues. What a day to have an issue with so many applicants anxious to find out.

Thanks! That's good advice - I'll do the same :smile:
 
Everyone is hitting it hard right now, plus Cadet Command may be uploading another "batch" of updates into the portal.

Thank you!

I will give it some time.
However it is the same link I tried yesterday and received the same message. That is why I was wondering if I had the correct link.

Again Thanks for the help and I guess we will see what it says tomorrow. :smile:

Keep checking throughout the day, the site seems to go dark while they are updating, it could pop right back up just as quick.

Good Luck
 
here is the link and what it will ask you....

It's fun to watch this board light up. Congratulations to you all. For those of you who do not receive a scholarship please do not give up hope. You an still join ROTC , excel and compete for a campus based scholarship. Best of luck to you all.
