    Nick’s English Hut is the best place on earth and has awesome pizza. The campus is beautiful, especially in the summer. Get out and explore.

    Don't lose hope if your still waiting!!

    Congrats! Good reminder for candidates - stay positive. I think @Labrador was asking if this was a campus-based or national scholarship?

    Is having an ROTC scholarship a hook?

    Having grown up in South Bend, I'd suggest doing a December or January tour, so they know what they are getting into!

    AROTC 1st board results

    Don’t distress if you were not awarded on the first board. My DS got nothing first board, then 3 year award on 2nd board, then upgraded to 4 year on the 3rd board. I got to watch him board a Chinook yesterday for his first FTX. Patience will get you there - you’ve done the hard part already...

    High School Award Ceremony

    The PMS came out to my son’s award ceremony, gave a nice recap of the award and my son’s accomplishments and offered congratulations. It was very cool, unexpected and very appreciated. Only seniors and their families were there, but I’m sure the LTC made a great impact for any younger kids who...

    AROTC 2nd Scholarship Board

    Thanks for the update....grrrrr. Question though: my son received his latest transcript after the doc submission deadline for the second board. He applied on the first board, but maxed out his GPA the past semester and would like to submit that. Is the doc deadline pushed back as well? I...

    AROTC Decision Date

    Conversely, do you think no red box yet (11/9 noon) is a bad sign? Thanks for your help.

    GPA and ROTC

    One thing that jumped out at me when helping my son apply for AROTC scholarship: the board does not take rigor of course load into account. My son’s 3.8 weighted GPA had to be entered in raw format - 3.45. He’s got great test scores, so hoping that will outweigh the GPA. Good luck - you’ll...

    ROTC- Chances of acceptance

    There are some good books on Amazon about how to prep for the scholarship application. I ordered one for my son by LTC Robert Kirkland, who is a retired PMS. Had some great tips and insights, including "You must have four years remaining in an approved college program to be eligible for the...
