Does the ROTC CC pay for one time travel from home of record to college/universtiy for 4yr ROTC scholarship recipients. I saw a portion of the DA Form 597-3 which makes note of this but I am note sure if that is applicable to freshmen or just for LDAC. Thank you

Yes, they do reimburse the Contracted Scholarship Cadet. They will pay so much for mile if you drive. They will pay for the plane ticket if that is how the Cadet got to school. They will pay for a hotel if one had to travel far and it was a stop over. They will not pay for a hotel near the school the night prior. In otherwords, my son is only 4 1/2 hours away from his college. We drove up the night before so we could spend the entire next day moving him in and get home before midnight so we stayed in a hotel. That of course was on our dime.
I want to say that the reimbursement was direct deposited into his account a couple of months after he contracted.

AZMOMM,
Despite the regulation and JFTR that authorizes payment DD has had difficulty collecting for travel. From August to December the HRA employee and Cadre at the cross enrolled/extension school kept saying not authorized. Finally got the ROO from the Host school engaged. Paperwork submitted in December but no deposit of funds to date.
Interestingly, the HRA wanted a copy of the original notice of scholarship. I laughed when I saw the scholarship notice included the authorization for one time travel pay from home to school.

Thanks for the info all. Seems like a nice perk if we get it. Im used to the long delays with getting reimbursed you would think they would just issue the tickets directly. Fordham was very informative when I asked about room paid for. I was told that it is covered no process on our part other than passing apft. The fin aid said that they were used to rotc pay delays and would work with us.
