Simple math would say.....1 year of tuition, BUT it's more complicated than that. Take a minute and research the financial benefits you get as a scholarship recipient at Norwich. They have the best financial package (for ROTC scholarship recipients) of any SMC. They offer benefits like R&B for scholarship winners...

I would also suggest you call/email the financial aid/scholarship office and they will be able to tell you exactly what your costs would be based on your specific circumstances. Good Luck - Norwich is a great school!
 
ROTC scholarship awardees are given the General ID White which covers room and board.

Students Awarded ROTC Funding​

Students who become eligible for ROTC funding after being notified of their initial merit scholarship and grant eligibility will have their Norwich gift aid funding revised. In recognition of ROTC participation, and during periods of enrollment in which ROTC funding is received, the Norwich University ID White Scholarship is provided to pay for on-campus room and board charges and a $5,000 Service Award is provided if the ROTC funding does not cover 100% of tuition. Students are also considered for need-based grants to help meet education expenses that are not covered by their ROTC program awards. Federal Pell Grant eligible students retain their Pell Grant in addition to their ROTC funding. Students do not retain their merit scholarship in addition to the ROTC, I.D. White, Service Award, and Pell Grant.
 
As others posted above, Norwich provides a lot of aid. When our son earned NROTC and he applied to Norwich for last year's admission cycle, they offered 32k per year to cover Room and Board and any other expenses (lab fees, additional books). They called it a 'merit award' last year. No idea if that is current or not now, but they sure were easy to deal with in terms of application, financial aid, etc. Excellent communication with his admissions counselor. She called him from a cell on a Sunday. They were great.
 
Great responses. The greatest concern is the first year. Take a schedule on the easier side and apply your self to get really good grades. Stay away from Quantum Physics/Quantum Mechanics III Freshman year. Really work hard for every test and assignment. Manage your time wisely. As with any college, if you get a high GPA your first semester and first year, your going to be happy and love your school. Keep on mind the money for year 2, 3 an 4 will not matter if you bomb out freshman year. Make sure to enjoy the people around you too!
 
The FASFA package at Norwich was generous.
It will cost me less money to send DS to Norwich than to send him to TAMU.
That is with zero loans, all scholarships/grants. We are just like any middle class family, I am LE and my wife is a school teacher so no special circumstances.
TAMU was in state. Every kid in the State of Texas is trying to get into TAMU or UT, so they really don't hand any money out. My DS's friend is graduating #2 in his class of over 800, Texas 6A HS, ZERO scholarships. The kid is middle class great SAT/ACT GPA, ZERO scholarships.
#1 for me was student teacher ratio and number of MS 4 who commission each year. Norwich beats any major university hands down.
 
EEBTTF - The Citadel is a public college and there are just too many ROTC scholarship cadets at the Citadel for it to provide free R&B to all of them - nearly 24% of the Corps receives some form of ROTC scholarship national and campus based - about $14.3 Million in 2020. The Citadel does provide a Supplemental ROTC stipend to eligible 3 and 4 year National ROTC scholarship cadets during their scholarship, amounting to $3,500 per year. And based on merit, cadets can receive additional merit grants depending on their major, credentials and need. For the upcoming Fall Class, Finance has plans to offer the top 8 Four year ROTC scholarship cadets full R&B. Hopefully the Alumni Association will also continue to expand its scholarship for cadets. Right now, to be eligible for the $3,500 Supplement, a cadet must have a minimum SAT of 1200, a minimum high school GPA of 3.2, and maintain at least a 3.0 gpa in college. In today's competitive environment, this is not too difficult to achieve.
