Room and Board

[brakeharder]

The NROTC scholarship students at Holy Cross in Worcester, MA have traditionally been granted an additional benefit by the college of having their individual "room" fee credited by the college. The student is still responsible for paying their individual "board" fee. For the 2011/12 academic calendar year this policy is in effect and the value of that credit is right around $6000. To date, there has been no notification that this policy will change going forward.

Anyone can update the document, please do so as new info becomes available

Does anyone know if Georgetown (Hoya Batallion) gives any room and board incentive?

Are you sure Louisiana State no longer has room and board with scholarship? The Army school look up page states they do.

Here is the 10/21/12 reply from Georgetown AROTC ROO MAJ Richard Hull
Rh345@georgetown.edu

"Georgetown University Army ROTC offers the normal ROTC scholarships that cover either all tuitions & fees or room & board. Unfortunately, our universities (Georgetown, George Washington, American and Catholic) do not offer any other scholarships along with the normal ROTC scholarship, except for George Washington University which will give $1000 for room and $1000 for board for any engineering degree that has a normal ROTC scholarship."

LSU Baton Rouge, Louisiana?

Does the candidate get to choose either all tuition and fees, or room and board, or is that pre-determined? Thanks.

My son got his scholarship assigned to his 1st choice (state school). I think he is happy to just apply there early and be done. But given this thread, I'm thinking it would be worth applying at one or two more good engineering schools (assigned tier 1) if they are at least as good as where he was accepted and have the room and board incentive. Drexel and RPI come to mind. Then of course he would have to request to be transferred. Opinions?
