Hey All,
So I wondering how the NROTC Book Stipend worked...
If we're on scholarship, do we pay upfront for the books and the Navy reimburses us? If so, what's the amount we're given each semester?
Thank you you for your time.

AROTC pays $600 per semester. And yes, given how far in advance you have to order books and pay for them, there will be $s out-of-pocket that eventually will be reimbursed.I believe every branch is the same and it is 900 per yr, split into 450 per semester.
Also, your pay usually will not show up until October. Main reason why is that pay is done in arrears and there is a cut off date. So when you get paid in October it is for the month of Sept. You will be paid on the 1st and the 15th, if those dates land on a Sat/Sun your money will be in your account on Friday.
Make sure you take with you the material needed for contracting and if I recall correctly it is your birth certificate (no copies) and SS card. If you don't have them they can't contract you.
ARMY ROTC Scholarships:
Scholarships include tuition, fees, uniforms, book stipend and a monthly stipend.
$ 1200 annual book stipend
$ 300 monthly stipend as a freshman, $350 monthly stipend as a sophomore, $450 monthly
stipend as a junior and $500 monthly stipend as a senior (does not include room and board)
A NROTC scholarship covers the cost of all tuition, books, fees, and uniforms. Scholarship midshipmen are also paid a subsistence allowance that increase each year. Freshmen receive $250 a month in two bi-weekly payments. Each successive year the allowance increases by $50, with sophomores receiving $300, juniors $350, and seniors $400. These allowances cover the costs of items such as uniform maintenance and incidental school expenses. Scholarship midshipmen also receive $375 a semester for book expenses.
Air Force ROTC scholarships are typically awarded to rising college freshmen as 4-year scholarships, but 3- and 2-year scholarship packages are also available for cadets already attending college. Air Force ROTC programs offer several types of scholarship opportunities to cadets, each having certain distinctions:
Type 1 – pays for the student’s full college tuition, majority of school-related fees, and also provides an annual $900 textbook allowance
Type 2 – pays for the student’s tuition and fees (maximum of $15,000/year) and provides an annual $900 book allowance
Type 7 – pays college tuition as well as most fees and provides an annual $900 book allowance, but students are only eligible if attending a university with a maximum tuition of $9,000 or if they are eligible for the school’s in-state tuition rates
Every scholarship type entitles its recipients to a monthly stipend while attending college and participating in the Air Force ROTC program. The amount of the stipend is based on the student’s year in school:
Year 1 – $300/month
Year 2 – $350/month
Year 3 – $450/month
Year 4 – $500/month
