I was fortunate enough to be there yesterday, and was lucky enough to be able to get a picture with General Powell! It was a great ceremony. August can't come soon enough!

Just two quick questions: 1.) I wrote the letter requesting the transfer (it's a full page). I mentioned how GW would increase my value as an asset to the army, how its a high quality education that prepares students for grad school, etc. Should I mention that after student aid, GW is more...

Haha, I really wonder what is going to happen with the rest of it. Guess I've gotta go digging for some info on monday! I have a feeling they'll pay for the room and board and rotc will pay for tuition and they'll give someone else my 21k. Not that I'm complaining about having school completely...

Haha, cars for all would be very nice! Something tells me that they'll find a way to not cut a check each year. Didn't even think about how the price increases each year, just wait until the nation's college debt bubble bursts. Yikes!

The 21k i'm referring to is the "Academic Excellence Scholarship" the school awarded me, not uncle sam's money. The ROTC would pay tuition and fees and then the school's 21k would go towards room and board, and then they'd cut a check for the leftovers of the school's 21k. I should definitely...

I will be sure to double check with the bursar, but I was told by the PMS that they will allow me put it towards my room and board, and will put the remainder in a check to me after each year.

Thank you for the epiphany-inspiring post. I came to the same realization you did - all signs are pushing me to St. Johns. St. Johns offered me 21k a year ON TOP of the ROTC scholarship. GW offered zip, nada. It was an honor to be admitted to GW in it's most selective year yet (only 2,350 of the...

Wait..... I lose the St. John's scholarship if it doesn't transfer? I thought that I accept the St. John's scholarship and send it with the letter requesting the transfer and if it doesn't transfer, I still get to keep the St. John's. If I would lose the one the St. John's, that would change...

Would a letter from someone important or relevant (i.e. a State Senator) supporting the transfer of my scholarship help my chances?

Thank you. I think I will try for the transfer. I have connections to a gw alum who is an army officer, as well as a Senator who i work for, who would write me letters of support.

The second situation is correct. I haven't attempted the transfer yet. They said the deadline to start the process is April 12th. I prefer GW because simply put, its a high quality, challenging school that has one of the best international affairs programs. Good point on having the transfer...

When I got the AROTC scholarship in the mail, it said that if you wanted to transfer it, the request had to be made by April 12th and you had to accept the scholarship first. George Washington Univeristy was one of the schools on my list, but I got the 3 Year AD to St John University instead...

Thank you!!!!! I will make sure I send in my scholarship acceptance form today so that I can get the ball rolling!

I am ready to accept my scholarship offer (3 year ad arotc to St. John's University in NY) but I just want to make sure I understand the dodmerb timeline. After I send in my signed form saying that I accept the scholarship, I will be contacted to schedule the physical, correct? Is there anything...

Thanks! Haha, I forgot how many St. John's there were! I'll be attending SJU in NY, majoring in Homeland and Corporate Security w/ a minor in Arabic. Congrats to your son and best of luck to him as well!!!!

Glad to hear that! Congratulations! And Thanks vamom!

Thanks. Got a 3 Year AD to St. John´s, so i guess that it´s a matter of chance and hard work, but being prepared to pay for the first year. Thank you everybody for the help.

I've seen somewhere before talk about contracting halfway through freshman year and getting a 3.5 year arotc scholarship? Am I going crazy and mixing up afrotc with arotc threads, or does this actually exist? If so, how does one do that? I tried searching for more info, but 3.5 isn't a...

3 Year AD to St. John's University!!!!!! Red Storm Battalion!!!!
