DS received waiver last December. Stipends were not paid until Spring Semester. Congratulations to you and all who have secured a path to commissioning. EDIT: DS returns home from CORTRAMID tomorrow.

DS was notified by his unit last year about August 15, but I think that may have been later than previous years.

DS is a 3/C MIDN and varsity swimmer at UMBC. They are in the Maryland NROTC Consortium with UMD (assuming from your user name). The leadership has been very accommodating, but as stated above, the team has to be flexible also. Like mentioned above your DD should give the unit a call to...

FYI: Refund being processed.

Thanks, DODMERB Remedial!

DS is activating his 3-year side-load NROTC tomorrow. Is it customary for NROTC to reimburse for the fall tuition if activation is this late in the semester? Hoping so. Thanks

Going through the same issue with DS. Never even needed glasses. I wouldn't think his eyes have deteriorated to that level in two years. Passed with 20/20 in August 2015 at a DODMERB exam. Needed new DODMERB exam this year because the exam was 2-years and 1-week old (NROTC sideload). Dr...

DS applied to USMA and USCGA in 2015, (USMA 4q'd not selected, USCG waitlisted not selected). DODMERB DQ'd for history of peanut allergy and given USMA waiver based on previous successful treatment by oral immunotherapy. He eats peanuts regularly now. Fastforward: DS was recently awarded...

DS received 3-year sideload at UMBC pursuing EOD. Congratulations to all the awardees and a big Thank You to the many posters who have helped with information.

The board gets a half-way mark between the 4-year national and the 3-year sideload. But since the scholarships are not activated until the next fall (?), this seems like a step towards eliminating the re-applications by MIDN in favor of a larger 3-year sideload process. Another step in the...

Thanks for the info. Do you have the total number of scholarships that these stats represent?

Thank You.

Is the schedule for sideload scholarship review and awards similar this year (summer 2017)? Mid to late July reviews and early August awards?

DS was informed earlier this week that he did not get a 4-year NROTC scholarship and that he was, actually, the next one on the list when the selections ended! DS is a 4/C MIDN College Programmer at his school of choice already, so no major decisions were riding on it, just wants the path to...
