Has anyone gotten a status update/scholarship award/rejection for the Marine Option NROTC scholarship? It seems like there is alot more information within the Army threads.
Congrats to everyone that has received good news!
Recieved word that last postings will take place between 14 March - 10 April
Recieved word that last postings will take place between 14 March - 10 April.. hope this is correct. If anyone knows different, please post. Application and PFT were taken and completed on 9 February at 2/25, NY. Son had already been accepted to The Cidatel... waiting and wondering. Was here 4+ years ago when daughter was waiting word of DODMERB waiver. She is now graduating from USNA this May and being commissioned Ensign USN. Hope her brother has same type of good fortune.

The Marine NROTC and AROTC boards are going to start costing me money. If we do not hear soon, I am going to have to send non-refundable money to the top 3 choices to hold DS spot. I say top 3, because he did not apply to the bottom 2, he only chose them because he was forced by the online app. He would not go to either regardless.

10 April? That sounds pretty late. How reliable is your source?
Still waiting here. Recruiter said we should know by 3/15 - which is tomorrow! I have my doubts. We've been told several different dates since last November and we still don't know anything.
We are very very anxious around here. If no scholarship, then my son will go with the Marine Reserves - ship date of 5/23. Two days after his HS graduation. He'll be in bootcamp/training for 8 months, so will more than likely miss his 1st year of college. I'm not happy with that option, but he is insistent. He's got such great momentum right now with his tough academic load - I hate for him to miss his first year of college. Not to mention the 7 colleges he's been accepted to - for FALL 2011. We'll have to start over at square one with the college applications.
I'm trying to stay hopeful, but this waiting is tough.
Good luck to all!
I'm on the same exact route as your son, this scholarship is my key to whether or not I go to college this fall or not. Hopefully tomorrow we'll find out! Good luck!
