My son is a sophomore in his first year of a 3 year scholarship awarded to him by the head of cadre at his school. He got the notice in May, right around high school graduation, and accepted immediately. He was about to enlist! His freshman year was considered a “probationary” year and then he started on scholarship this August. What is nerve wracking is the DODMERB process. He attends an expensive school, and we figured a way to pay for it the first year between us. When he had to go through a DQ process in the spring and then not get cleared until June, it was very stressful. My advice is to do all the Dodmerb work asap if you get a campus scholarship. It all worked out, but again, was stressful. He should have done it first semester, but didn’t for whatever reason and then other things outside his control delayed the process.
