My son's ROTC scholarship letters are starting to come in. After reading many previous threads, he is still not sure how he should proceed.
He was offered a NROTC scholarship to his #1 choice which is a great private school ($$$). However, he hasn't been officially accepted there and the ROTC scholarship letter only gives him a week or so to accept. He was also offered a AFROTC scholarship at his #1 listed school (different school), but gave him several months to accept. He was just accepted into the AFROTC school.
If he accepts one of the scholarships does that constitute "enrolling" in a officer training program? The AFROTC site states "You may apply for any other officer training program, but once you enroll in another program, you will be removed from Air Force ROTC scholarship consideration...If you enroll in another program, notify the High School Scholarship Program Section immediately. Your failure to do this may cause permanent ineligibility for Air Force ROTC scholarships." The NROTC scholarship letter reads "If you enroll in any other U.S. military officer accession program prior to reporting to the NROTC unit, you automatically forfeit your NROTC scholarship." Does Enroll mean Accept?
Are they talking about accepting appointments at one of the Academies, or just accepting a scholarship from any ROTC program? He doesn't want to accept the NROTC scholarship before he officially is accepted into the school listed in the scholarship. And he doesn't want to accept it if it automatically nullifies his scholarship offer from AFROTC. If he had already been accepted to both schools we know the choice would now be where does he want to study and serve, but the decision is not so clear right now. Why did the NROTC program only give him a week or so to reply? I guess it all boils down to what does "enroll" mean.
Any help and/or clarification would be appreciated.
Regards....
