I received word on my NROTC scholarship almost 3 weeks ago. I had sent in my application in mid-August.
To my recollection, nobody else on the forum reported getting a scholarship around the time that I did. It doesn't seem like there is any contiguity with the NROTC process lately...
DS completed application in late October, 2010 and NROTC scholarship was offered just before Christmas, and he accepted just after Christmas, if that helps.
