Texas A&M

Posting a question about Texas A&M out-of-state tuition in hopes my understanding is wrong or I'm missing something: DS was admitted to engineering program but no NROTC/Marine or any scholarship. The plan may be to attend as a college programmer and apply for ROTC from there. My understanding is that you need to get $4000 in qualifying scholarships to be able to receive in-state tuition as an out-of-state resident. We are $1400 short. My contact with the financial aid office tells me that we have applied for all scholarships that might have been qualifying, so are out of luck by $1400. I'm sure the financial aid office was giving it to me straight - but anyone know something I don't about receiving in-state tuition?
 
after attending preview day and eagle weekend it is indeed $4K of A&M given scholarship to receive in state. They just changed it bc of state regulations. it used to only be $1K was required

My name is Max Patty and I am a junior in high school. I live in Ohio and really want to go into the Army ROTC program at Texas A&M, but the only way I could attend there is if I got a scholarship. I am not really sure what they are looking for. Right now my overall gpa is a 3.2 and I take all the average classes. My grades right now are A+, A, A, A, B and a B- in Spanish 3. If I were to bring up my two B's and were to keep up these kind of grades my junior and senior year would I have a good chance of getting in? I also run cross country in the fall and track in the spring and I'm pretty sure I have varsity letters for each.

I got an offer to A&M this year with a 3.1 GPA but I maxed out on evert pt event, had a tremendous amount of leadership experience & extracurricular activities. I didn’t think I’d get it but I did. Academics are just one piece to the puzzle.

Make sure you also contact Corp of Cadets.
DS has been accepted in Eng and won a AFROTC type 7. We are out-of-state. Unfortunately his medical waiver has been denied and he has only $1500 in scholarship.
DS called scholarship office to see if they would offer in-state rate while he appeals his denied waiver, they said no, not until scholarship is activated. He is now looking in-state.
 
OK, sounds like it's worth a try; contacted the financial aid office but not the Corps of Cadets... (I know we're really reaching here...)
