Ask me any Questions about AROTC scholarships and applying.

Don't be so quick to decide... AROTC-dads photo looks like it might be in the running... Dad, was that a selfie?
 
I received a 4 year Army ROTC scholarship on the second board. If anyone needs help with applying or has any questions either post it on this thread or pm. I hope I can help as many people as possible.
Congrats! So this is for Class of 2022? Did you apply in April or May? So you received the scholarship without senior grades or transcripts. That's awesome, great that your academic was strong 9-11th grade!

1. My college graduation year is Class of 2021 but anyone who is currently applying or interested in applying can ask me questions.

2. I actually started my Application in late June.

3. Yes you can be offered a scholarship without a final transcript. However, you will be asked to upload a current transcript and although it doesnt show all the grades for your senior year, it will give the scholarship committee a good idea of what kind of student you are and what your grades will be in the future.

Thanks for all the commendations :)
 
Regarding suit or no suit, I think a nice business casual look is all you need. We're in Colorado and my son received AROTC, NROTC and AFROTC scholarships (two years go) and wore nice casual to all interviews - khakis, button down and sweater. I don't think interviewers expect a suit because not all high school students to have suits (and good fitting suits at that - don't wear an ill fitting suit!). This year, my daughter wore a nice dress, but not a formal dress, and she received AFROTC scholarship and NROTC ISR. Just look like you put some thought into what to wear for the interview.
 
I would say that while a suit is not required, nor expected, if you have one, then I would recommend wearing it. A suit will not make or break the interview, but I would think if there were two equal candidates, that there could be a slight edge to the candidate who made the extra effort. We bought both of our kids a suit to wear for their senior years. They both got a lot of use out of them with various civilian and A/NROTC scholarship interviews, congressional interviews, formal scholarship awards ceremonies and our son even wore his to the Prom. Even with DS being a cadet now at USMA, and our daughter a NROTC Midshipman, they have both still had occasions to wear these suits. In my opinion they were a good investment and I figure they might as well put their absolute best foot forward.
