Greetings all,
I am a type 7, 4 yr AFROTC Scholarship recipient and a high school senior. We will be having an awards ceremony and id like to be recognized, but my counselors are being very difficult about it.
Obviously this is a very large achievement for me, and a culmination of my all my high school efforts, so a 1-2 minute speech and a big check presentation would have been very nice to have. When I went in to speak to them today, the counselors told me that there can be NO big check presentation and NO speech giving during the event and sternly told me return to class. They told me that if they did this they would be there for 70 hours. On top of this, they said that if I even wanted to be recognized I would have to provide hard copy proof that I was in fact a AFROTC scholarship recipient and they would "think about" mentioning my 3rd party offer...
I was pretty disgruntled after this and I am wondering if anyone had any similar experiences and what happened of it. Also, where can I find a "hardcopy proof" of my scholarship? I received my award certificate in the mail from Army ROTC but nothing from Air Force.
Thanks for your help!
