I recently just received a full-ride scholarship to University of Illinois that's not through the military. I'm still in the running for a NROTC scholarship, but haven't heard back yet. If I were to be declined from NROTC or just choose to take this scholarship instead, is there an Officer...

My file still says "No Decision", too. Some applicants have received the scholarship and some have been declined. As hard as it is, all we can do is wait for them to make a decision on our applications.

I'm definitely taking a look at the tuition waiver for NROTC students at UI. The GI bill is definitely an option, but I don't know if I'd decide to put the enlisted time in first. I keep that option open too though, because right now that's is what I need more of: options. Hopefully all of...

First off, I would go to any college that the Navy awarded my scholarship to. You're not understanding that all these reasons are economical. I don't just have military goals, I have education and career goals too. I'm not going enlisted, because I'm not going to accept ****ty pay. I'm going...

I definitely see your point, Dunninla. U of I is currently my 3rd choice, but I deffinitely wouldn't turn down a scholarship there.

I've filled out my FAFSA, applied for many scholarships (and still searching), and tried looking at every other way I can attend college. If ROTC doesn't go through, I'll do what USMCgrunt said and transfer into a university after a couple of years at a CC. Don't get my wrong I want to serve...

I would be more than happy to attend my IS school, even though it isn't my true desire. My goal is to be a Navy Officer, but without the scholarship... I can't. If I were to go in the College program without the scholarship, I only have funds for about one year at a major university. It's...

I see the point you're making about the Navy not wanting to fork out so much money on just one candidate for OOS tuition. I still feel my stats are superior to many other NROTC applicants. I think my application demonstrates I have the skills to be a better Naval Officer than many other...

U of Illinois is my in-state school, even though I'm personally not a big fan of the school. I haven't received any major merit-based scholarships from anywhere yet, except like 5k/year to Missouri. I'm applying for many local scholarships, but they're not going to make a huge dent in the...

Yeah, I feel so stupid for not spending more time on a plan B. I've been accepted to all my schools, but I can't spend 30k a year. I'll probably end up at a community college (due to money) if I don't get NROTC, which is really disappointing for my personal standards. For more info.. My...

I was wondering when the typical time is for NROTC to award the majority of their scholarships? I've had my application in since last July and I'm still waiting. I don't really have a back up plan and I'm really hoping for this scholarship. I've been told I'm almost guarenteed the scholarship...
