NROTC Navy Option National Scholarship Minimum ACT/SAT Increasing

If I don't receive the NROTC scholarship this year as a senior in high school I will be attending Texas A&M in the fall in the Corps of Cadets entering NROTC as a college option student. I've heard that as a college option NROTC cadet, I cannot apply for a 4 year scholarship since I'm enrolled in NROTC. If I were not in NROTC as a freshman college student I could apply for the 4 year NROTC scholarship again. Is this correct?

My options would be to then apply for 3 and 2 year scholarships as an NROTC college option cadet. Is this the same as a side-load scholarship? I'm trying to determine my academic plan B for my NROTC scholarship. The posts mentions that ACT/SAT is not factored into 3 and 2 year scholarships and if correct I can refocus my energy from ACT prep to getting a jump on studying for my first semester college courses. For NROTC I'm currently at an SAT equivalent 1396.

Thank you for all the advice.

You can indeed reapply for the 4-year National, and you absolutely should, whether Navy or Marine option. If you fail to earn that again as a freshman, you'll be able to pursue 3-year and 2-year side loads regardless of option. On the Navy side, we don't not consider ACT/SAT for side loads; the Marine Corps does, though.
 
As a Texas A&M College Programmer I'm applying again for the 4 year scholarship - trying to get my application in as soon as possible for another chance to receive the 4 year scholarship. Does anyone know where I can download and fill out the following required statements:
  • Statement of Understanding for NROTC Application
  • Debarment Statement for NROTC Application
  • Drug Statement for NROTC Application
Also, while at TAMU I would imagine I can take the AFA. Trying to get my application in as early as possible

Thank you
 
I assume you're an incoming freshman. I recommend not being in sch a rush and working with your cadre once at TAMU in completing your application.
1. They, no doubt, can provide you with some valuable guidance
2. They will certainly be able to help in answering your questions
3. Although a final decision has not been made, to the best of my knowledge, there is a strong possibility that they will not even consider your application until your first semester is complete, so there would be no need to rush to get it submitted. See earlier posts by @NavyNOLA on this topic.
