    Any Scholarship Recipients Rethinking This Year?

    My DS is enrolled at American University - was supposed to move in to dorms next week but all classes online and no on campus living allowed. Georgetown Hoya ROTC Bn called him briefly last week to ask if he was still moving to DC and, if not, where the closest ROTC program was to us. We just...

Both schools are all online and the dorms are not...

    AROTC Pass/Fail

    This is unfortunate as some schools did not give a choice. My DD is at Columbia - a Biomed Engineer Major and is discouraged as Her air assault slot cancelled, Army Internship at MIT Lincoln Lab cancelled, and then the pass/ fail. I think she feels this is only going to push her down the OML and...

    “The Golden Ticket?”

    I respect all the above posts and generally agree. I was ROTC - as was my husband - and we certainly witnessed some of the benefits of the USMA “connections” and it serves those Officers well - I did envy that at times! ...I have had 3 degrees including my Doctorate paid for by the military so...

    Does ROTC application triggers DoDMerb

    Thank you! I was hoping you’d reply! Funny thing is that I, mom, am returning to the military as a NP and just got my email including a letter of instruction from you. I was getting worried that my DS hadn’t gotten anything. I’ll have him login in today!

    Request to transfer a scholarship approved

    We uploaded the 3 documents as instructed - very thorough, clear instructions. It would be nice to have a timeframe to expect an answer on transfer since May 1 is the big day for colleges.

    I started clicking everywhete and yes, it’s found under the “file upload” tab across the top toolbar...not very intuitive and no instructions for this change for 3rd board we’re sent as far as I know. Thank you to MT ROTC for alerting us the letter would NOT be coming in mail though!

    Fordham University ROTC?

    It’s not easy for PT in the mornings but if more Columbia and NYU cadets enroll they could possibly do PT on their campus. Overall, it’s a few stops on subway and part of the NYC experience. Sometimes a few cadets get Lyft together if they have their equipment to carry, etc.

    We are seeing the Winner status as well as link to instructions on uploading documents such as the Accept/Decline letter etc but we are not seeing the actual Letter that you would mark accept/ decline. Are we missing something??

    We were in exact same position - my DS went into a somewhat self-preservation “I don’t care if I get it or not” and is now having to wrap his head around being a winner.

    AROTC Scholarship Board - Week of March 23, 2020

    DS changed to Winner,3-year Advanced Designee - only 1 school showed up on Portal (our other kids in previous years got 4-year in 1st board and 3 schools included)... So - can someone (maybe Montana State ROTC?) clarify if that means it is only good for that 1 school?
