Thank you! She will be in the Army Reserves. At first she was very disappointed that her original plan didn't turn out but I believe that things happen for a reason and that she is in the right place. Sometimes we don't really know why things turn out the way they do until later. We are on...

I haven't been on the forum in quite awhile but thought I would share an update about where we ended up. My DD applied for the ROTC scholarship last year and went through two boards. She was not selected and was pretty devastated. She started to move on to plan B and C even though that was...

thanks everyone for the thoughts and ideas. My DD was originally pursuing D1 schools for soccer but in her research discovered that she liked a smaller size school and the atmosphere/structure of D3 soccer. It was a surprise to both of us but a much better fit. She fell in love with the...

We can look into that but it might be difficult to swing the finances of it even for the first year. I am wondering why most have been so negative about joining the reserves? There are many benefits to it so I am curious why many have been discouraging about it. She is getting a bonus...

thank you - I am fairly new to this forum so thank you for the info....!

We have already talked to the ROO at the ROTC Battalion before she considered the reserves. He told us that it is very likely that she would get a campus scholarship in her Sophomore year but he could not make promises. We are not in a financial situation to take a risk like that. If she just...

My DD applied for the ROTC scholarship but was not awarded the scholarship. She has plans to go to a small private school on the east coast in the fall and it is fairly expensive. She is getting a merit scholarship from the school but it only covers about 1/2 of the cost. She is planning to...

We are looking into the Army Reserve for our DD and we were told by the recruiter that she would be eligible to still apply for the ROTC scholarship once she gets to her college in addition to the tuition assistance of $5,000 per year - is that incorrect information?

Hate to be mean about this but you took a scholarship away from others that desperately wanted it and now you are just jumping ship. Honestly, you should honor your commitment and have some discipline about the decisions you have made. I know this may be an unpopular post but too many young...

Does the board take into consideration the gender of the applicant or the race/ethnicity? I was wondering if you are female if you have better odds for the scholarship because there are fewer female applicants and the wish to have a diverse group?

for those with status that changed to winner for this board - can you post the stats of your DD or DS? I am wondering if my daughter should move on to plan B or if there is still a chance for her with the 3rd board.

Should we expect that everything is updated by now or do you think they are still working on posting the winners? My DD is still listed as "Boarded" so not sure if we should still bother to check the website or if all the winners would have already been updated by now for this board.

Curiou if anyone knows the answer to this question. If you are awarded the scholarship will the application status be updated on the website before you receive the letter in the mail? My DD is eagerly and not so patiently waiting for results from the 2nd board. Was wondering if it is...
