NROTC acceptance question

[trickywolffe]

Hey there,

I'm sure that someone has asked this question before, but I couldn't find the thread. I received my NROTC acceptance letter the other day! Yay! However, I am interested in either going Naval Academy, or AFROTC, my question is this: It says that accepting the scholarship does not obligate you to join the program, and it will be automatically declined if I attend USNA. However, if I accept it now, will it prevent me from changing my mind at a later date to, say AFROTC?

Thank you very much,

No. Read the note next to the checkbox in Section C on page 14 of the New Select Booklet.

You may decline the scholarship at any time for any reason. It must be done by writing or sending an email to NSTC.

I don't believe you incur any sort of obligation until the first day of your sophomore year (note the difference between USNA and NROTC here).
