Checked with my DD tonight on how things were going. Upon talking we looked at the dates and found that her paperwork was submitted pre-government shutdown, and the hold up now is probably her security clearance. She said she was told that it could take 45-60 days post submission of security...

My DD continues to get her stipend and latest posted November 1st. She got her book money back in September and contracted 2nd week of September, signed paperwork and sworn in so she could get half her stipend for September. Security clearance was done a couple weeks later so they could do it as...

Thanks all for your info and input. Book money paid 9/27 and stipends paid 10/1 and 10/25 so far. Not sure exactly what happened with the CU cadet as this came from my co-worker who has a daughter at the school. Possibly didn't contract as far as I know. We'll keep on waiting but it seems like...

Just writing to see if anyone has had similar issues and what their current status is. My DD received a 4 year ROTC Nursing scholarship and contracted back in September along with 11 other cadets at PLU. She has still not had her tuition paid and as of the last update she got she was told to...

ROTC Nurse Option My daughter's Fall 2013 school is a great start. Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, WA. Battalion has won the MacArthur Award for 2 out of the last 3 years. We were also told that they sometimes get some preferential treatment because of this. My daughter got a 4 year...

Navy Nurse Option Definitely want to make sure the Nursing program is a direct entry program. My older daughter graduated last May from University at Buffalo with her BSN. At the time it was a direct entry program but it no longer is. My younger daughter just got an Army ROTC Nursing...

Congratulations!

Will probably take you up on that as we may be making multiple visits in the future to attend some of her Cross Country and Track meets while she is at school there. Thanks for the congrats.

ROTC Scholarship First off, Jcleppe thanks for the extremely informative insight to the acceptance process. I will have my daughter read your post. She received her official letter in the mail today and was offered a 4 year ROTC Nursing Scholarship to Pacific Lutheran University(the only school...

Checked my DD status today on the portal and it has changed. States that she has recived an ARMY ROTC Scholarship to Pacific Lutheran University. This is her first choice and I know they really wanted her there as we visited twice. Don't know if it's 3 or 4 year or if there are any other school...
