I live in a state where there are no NROTC schools. When list the five units I am interested the most in, what are some less expensive schools that have NROTC that would help me get a scholarship because I do not qualify for instate tuition?
ZebraDonkey: This information is dated but gets you started on researching the answer to your question.
Here are two quotes from P-Flying17. Not sure if she is still around as I haven't seen anything from her in months. Recommend you PM her or search for posts from her as she is an NROTC insider.
The following was posted by P-Flying17 back in Sept 2011.
"The best thing to do is call the NROTC Unit at the school you are interested in and ask if that school offers reciprical agreements.
Any NROTC Scholarship student is eligible for instate tuition at any public Texas School.
Texas A&M University
Texas A&M University at Galveston
University of Texas
University of Houston
Texas Southern University
There are schools that offer reciprical agreements with other states, but none to the effect that Texas does.
For instance State University of New York offers instate tuition for residents of Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Washington D.C., Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
Wisconsin has a reciprocal agreement with Minnesota.
Minnesota currently has one with North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
The Citadel offers to certain counties in Georgia. South Carolina will occassionally offer instate tuition eligible scholarships."
A more recent comment from P-Flying17:
"also any public Texas school. University of Houston, TAMU, UT, Rutgers as well. Next year, maybe Minnesota. University of South Carolina is good about giving scholarships that reduce tuition to that of instate or close to it, but would have to have that documentation before applying it to instate tuition cost."
