    Does a congressional nomination help my ROTC application as well? Even a university application?

    If I remember correctly my son’s AROTC application asked if he was applying to USMA too (which he was) so he answered yes. There wasn’t a question about a nomination. AROTC application for scholarship is different than a college admissions application. I agree to not mention on the college...

    How does book payment work?

    Once your DS passes his APFT and signs his contract the bimonthly stipend will begin. One of those payments may include the $600 per semester book stipend or it may be a separate direct deposit. For Fall 2018 it was included with one of my DS's stipends and for the Spring 2019 semester it was...

    Medical Qualification

    I believe DS needs to initiate that DODMERB send his qualification to ROTC scholarship board.. last year my DS was qualified medically for USMA and USNA and was qualified for AROTC scholarship but I believe he had to initiate that through DODMERB

    Change in status

    My DS was awarded a 4 year AROTC scholarship in the March 2018 board .. when he moved into his college in August 2018 it still stated “boarded/under consideration” under his status. Don’t focus too much on what your ROTC scholarship application portal states. He was notified in April 2018 via...

    3Q requirements

    did your DS "resend" the SOE request email from his USMA portal to his English teacher? if not I would suggest he does because it should trigger a fresh email from USMA to the English teacher to fill out the SOE form. My DS has had to do that with more than one SOE
