Marine NROTC Scholarship?

I just found out a few hours ago that I did not get a M.O. NROTC scholarship. You guys should be hearing soon. Good luck! :thumb:
 
Email from my OSO. It's not that bad though. I made the final decision to go to NAPS. When one door closes to become a Marine officer, another opens.

Great attitude. I am not expecting receipt of this scholarship, but I am very prepared to pursue the commission and honor in other ways.
 
I keep checking online and the status hasn't changed. I got a call from a local recruiter I talked to a few times and he said that he received an email with all the scholarship recipients and my name wasn't there so he offered to talk about other paths to a commission.

I thought it was kind of strange to hear in that way when nothing else is updated so I emailed the XO I was working with on the scholarship app and he said the results were not out yet and that he'd email me. I kind of gave up hope after the phone call but not exactly sure what's going on now...

Anyone have any thing similar happen?

Until you have something official I wouldn't make any rash decisions. I don't doubt the recruiter has a list of recipients, but that doesn't mean its a complete list, regardless of what he might say. Be patient for a couple more weeks.
 
I would wait until you have an official response as well. I have not received word yet either and my status still says "at selection ect ect." Has anyone else received an acceptance or rejection?

Even though it's too early to make a decision about another path, you should at least prepare on your own as though you won't get the scholarship. Check out being a college programmer (and maybe getting a 2 or 3 year scholarship) and also PLC.

Ya absolutely. I'm in a different situation than most of the other applicants as a freshmen in college. Right now I'm doing af rotc and hoping to switch over after realizing that the af may not be right for me. I'm also waiting on the Academy and applied to plc also.
Didn't mean to hijack this thread but I appreciate the replies.
 
Who else hasn't heard one word yet?

I haven't heard a thing one way or the other. Is that good or bad? It seems like they could do a better job of getting notifications out so that we all hear at the same time.
 
Good luck with that, Flyer. Something will turn out well for you as well as the rest of us.

Dooddie, I haven't heard a word either. This thread is what's keeping me sane. But here's to hurrying up and waiting :thumb:
 
Marine option Scholarship

I didn't get the scholarship offer either. I'm hoping for a slot at NAPS or Foundation but if neither comes through, I'll go to The Citadel, apply for PLC and also reapply to USNA. There's many ways to skin that cat so if one door closes, guaranteed there are other ways to get that commission! Good-luck to all those still waiting!

It's neither good or bad. it just is.
 
Silver979, I got an email from my XO up in Raleigh. Actually, what happened was the OSO up in Raleigh accidentally emailed a group of us that were not getting the scholarship, thinking that we had already been notified, and talked about other options like PLC. When I got that email, I called my XO and left a voice message. He :thumbdown:then emailed me back saying that it was a clerical error and that we shouldn't have been notified that way but unfortunately it was true, we were not going to be receiving the scholarship...
 
Hi everyone,

I'm still waiting to see if I received the scholarship. Has anyone received official notification that they did or did not relieve a scholarship. Mine says it's waiting to be reviewed by the board online. Good Luck to Everyone!:wink:
 
The best way to find out is probably to contact your XO. He'll know better than anyone else, and I've heard that the website status is slow to be updated.
 
Very Excited & Proud Parent

I received a very excited call from my DS this evening. His scholarship coordinator, or XO, called him this evening and told him he was one of three in our state who was selected to receive the NROTC MO scholarship. The XO did not know what school yet as those selections have not yet been completed. But since our DS selected an in state school as his first choice the XO expects that will probably be where it is for. We are very excited for him to have this opportunity and to see that hard work, commitment and determination all reap rewards. Good luck to everyone as the news rolls out. His status online is not yet updated.
 
Congratulations. I assume he was accepted at said school?

Wow! I literally burst in excitement for your DS and family. Congratulations! That is truly wonderful and I'm sure he's going to excel in NROTC. Again, congratulations!
