Hey! I'm a current high school senior and I have been really interested in an AROTC scholarship for awhile now but I'm still unsure about many things. Here's a few of my main questions:
-I've created a goarmy account and plan to start filling out my application tomorrow, is this something that can be done entirely online? (Up until the physical evaluation and interview of course) A recruiter I spoke with visiting my high school made it sound as if I should go straight to his physical office instead so I'm somewhat confused.
-As far as the physical evaluation goes, should I do the Presidential test with a coach at my school or opt for an army pft?
-Okay big one. Does my intended major matter with the Army? I've looked online and they promise that they'll support any college major I choose but again the recruiter I spoke with said that I'd have much better chances at a scholarship as a stem/engineering major.
-What exactly is the minuteman scholarship? The recruiter recommended I apply for it along side an AROTC scholarship but he couldn't really explain how the two differ.
-All that being said, is it still possible for me to finish and submit my application by the first board meeting in October? (today being Sep 12th, giving me just over two weeks). I realize this post makes me look pretty unprepared but I'm confident I could have it done if I figure out the specifics. Thanks for reading, any answers to any of my questions would be much appreciated.
