    The opportunities are amazing.

    As an immigrant, I am astounded by the opportunities here for kids who receive 4 year scholarships. My son is one of the lucky kids. He is the only 4 year winner in his college, and boy the opportunities ahead of him are just fantastic. From the CULP program, to zero college loans, I am just...

    Miss fall semester and start in spring, or start college the following fall?

He did basic between junior and senior year, and then returned for AIT just after he graduated high school and was home in time to begin college in the Fall. Our other son is a 4 year ROTC scholarship winner. He was...

    ROTC Interview

    My son went to both NROTC and AROTC interviews dressed business casual. He also answered every single answer with Sir and Maam (NROTC interview was female). He brought a binder with a copy of his application and looked at the interviewer in the eye when answering questions.

    High School Award Ceremony

    My sons was good also. The ROO couldn't come, but he did have a representation there who handed over the "Big Check". My son is pretty quiet at school and very few knew about it and probably none realized how big a deal it was. The Middle school principal gave me the thumbs up as the...

    Transferring question

    The ROO is the same at both colleges. Yes, my son emailed him first. He has been totally aware of the situation and says it should be ok.

    Transferring question

    Oh my son got a 4 year scholarship to a choice of three schools. His first choice was on it and he got waitlisted, so he said he would take the spot in the spring and hope that they have a spot in the fall. Well, he got the letter last week (on his birthday), that he wasn't able to get a spot in...

    High School Award Ceremony

    If your son's/daughter's school allows the presentation and they want to participate, that's wonderful, what a great night that will be. To be honest I would have loved to see all those people in the audience squirm in their seats watching a couple uniformed officers presenting the scholarship...

    High School Award Ceremony

    I totally agree with this. If the kids want it bad enough, they will go after it. Normally my son is a procrastinator, but this was one thing he wanted so badly. He was the driving force behind it completely. I did go with him to the medicals, and also drove him to the interview. The ROO wanted...

    AROTC Four Year Scholarship Presentation Data

    As soon as we knew the awards night at the high school, we got in touch with the coordinator at the school. My son then passed on the info to the ROO so he could coordinate it also.

    AROTC at PITT

    I totally agree. He goes to bat for the kids. My son keeps up with emails and he responds back so fast with everything. He made this whole process so easy to work with. I have no problem knowing that my son will be in good hands. When the ROO interviewed my son, he asked that I be there also. He...
