It depends on the unit. Some units give out much more than others. Unfortunately mine does not really do upgrades, but I know others quite frequently give out upgrades as long as the cadet impresses that first semester.
i am strongly considering changing my major from journalism to finance. I am an incoming Freshman so it should be pretty easy, but I am wondering if I should email the ROO about it first?( I am AROTC)
Someone should be in contact with you. I got an email yesterday from the closest ROTC unit to my high school and they will be in collaboration with my school regarding the award presentation.
I would check the file upload box and if there is a winner letter there that’s a pretty good sign. I received my letter and mine also is in set boarded/uc
For Texas schools if you recieve a competitive scholarship over 1,000 dollars, you get the in state tuition rate. It’s called the competitive scholarship waiver.
I would say you definitely still have a chance. My status remains the same as yours, however I contacted my top 3 schools just to make sure and they all said I was awarded a 3 year AD scholarship to their school. I would contact your top schools as well if I were you.
I would call the ROO at the schools you want to go to, because mine also says boarded/uc but when I called 2 of my schools they said I received a 3 year AD scholarship.
I am planning on attending one of 2 colleges and use my father’s GI Bill the first year and hopefully I’ll be able to earn an on campus scholarship my second year.
