Check with the specific school
Some schools only will allow academic awards to be used for tuition which means you could choose to use the ROTC award for room and board if that's a better way to go. Other schools will let you use both pieces of aid. You need to check with the financial aid office at the school to see what the policy would be.
So my new question would be that because VA benefits (including ROTC benefits) do not effect the EFC calculation. Would we be eligible for other scholarships? For example the school that I am applying to has a scholarship just for maintaining a 3.0, 3.5 etc. Would my VA benefits exclude me from receiving that scholarship? Does it depend on the specific scholarship?
Thanks
Ben
