    Differences between scholarship and non-scholarship ROTC?

    Is the difference you are seeing now based only on budget cuts? Just curious how many non-contracted cadets were turned down for summer training, and what type of summer training were they not able to receive?? Thanks.

    SLS waitlist

    My daughter also received the SLS waitlist letter--am curious about her chances as well. Not sure how many are on the list and what amount of kids have gotten accepted off the list from years past.
