    Room and Board

    Georgia Mom, I also sent you a PM. Can you tell me where you got this info re: Ole Miss, b/c we were told (and I believe I saw here too) that Ole Miss offers no R&B credit? Thanks.

    AROTC 3-Year scholarship

    Thanks, I mis-read the original post thinking he had already been offered a 3-year. Also appreciate the comments about needing to do much more than the minimum to stand out and be sure to move on, even starting with a 3-year in hand. Reminding DSS to ramp up the training. Good thing he...

    3 year award Congrats again to all getting their letters! DSS received his letter today (we are in Cal.). He received 3 year offers to his 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice schools. The web only listed his #1 school. He also received 2 other college acceptance letters today, so he's flying high, but...

    AROTC Scholarship January Boards - Post if your status has changed

    Scholarship Details - 3 yrs. vs. 4 yrs. One of the ROO's for a school on DSS's list contacted him and told him the scholarship being offered was a 3-year award to 3 schools. He explained the Army is offering many more 3-year awards vs. 4-year awards because they preferred not to have students...

    Anyone hear for AROTC?

    It's interesting with the January boards coming out that DSS has heard from a couple of the schools on his list, including the ROO for one of his schools saying his application looks good and asking if he's still interested in that school. He also got a more generic email from one of the...

    Anyone hear for AROTC?

    DSS's medical status was also just changed to "received" (and he did not apply to academies) but again, it seems we don't know if that really means anything in terms of scholarship status.
