For many schools that haven't already, including mine, the school may go fully online again to prevent the spread of COVID-19. If you have a positive test, you are not allowed to attend. If this is the case, how will ROTC be conducted? How are some schools that will be fully online this...

Let's get this answered. If you're contracting day 1, you will receive your stipend for September-April and half of May. Your book stipend completely depends. For some kids in our detachment it came in just a couple of weeks. For others it took a month or two. If you contract in October, you...

Thank you all for your input! After doing speed intervals this summer, my two-mile time is about 12:48.

I will be a freshman this fall in ROTC and I want to be prepared physically for all that will be required of me (not only the APFT). I did a mock APFT the other day and maxed both my sit-ups and push-ups, but I only scored like a 67ish on the 2-mile (obviously room for improvement). I've never...

From all that I've heard, I don't receive any funds from the army until after my first semester of school? How does this work with a four-year AROTC scholarship? Does the Army back pay that first semester? Will my parents have to cover the first semester out of pocket (at least initially before...

Yes!

Thanks for your input. I spent a lot of time on the phone today. I called multiple detachments and had an old (unfinished) application to the University of Portland expedited. I was accepted officially today and got a nice scholarship from the school which will help pay whatever difference I...

Here is my situation: I was awarded a four-year Army ROTC scholarship and am all squared away to attend Baylor University in the fall... BUT I have not yet been medically cleared through DODMERB. I am expecting to be cleared (they are only reviewing a laparoscopic appendectomy I had in February...

Thank you for taking the time to give me that in-depth response! I will follow your advice; I have already accepted the ARMY scholarship and pursued that route. I am all set to attend Baylor University if my final medical waiver is granted. I'm not taking anything for granted, but great to hear...

Thank you both for your input. I will pass that message along.

1. I was offered a four-year type 7 scholarship for AFROTC. I was just cleared medically for air force. I also received a four-year AROTC scholarship, which is my first choice, but I have still not been medically cleared. I have already accepted that scholarship. Can I accept the AFROTC...

I was very fortunate to receive a four-year ROTC scholarship this spring and I will be attending Baylor University in the Fall. I was talking with one of my buddies about the application process, and now he is interested in applying for a scholarship. He is now a senior in high school and plans...

Thank you, all. I just checked the portal, and my status was changed to Offer Accepted.

In the fall, I put my top three schools in my application. When I was told that I was selected to be a scholarship recipient, I received a packet in the mail. I was instructed to choose between my top three schools and send in my decision.

Thank you! That is a great idea that I hadn’t thought of.

I decided on my top school this week and sent in my decision by scanning in the document and sending it over email. I remember that the three options were fax, paper mail, or email. Just to be clear, I only have to do one? I only ask because it's been several days since I sent in my decision...

I was playing phone tag with Wheaton today to see if they would pay for my room and board if I applied my scholarship to their school, but we missed each other. On the website, it says that there is an ROTC room and board scholarship, but it does not specify if it is the full amount or just part...

Thank you! I don't know how I ended up in USMA; meant to post in ROTC.

I was super thankful to be awarded an ROTC scholarship last week. If I understand correctly, ROTC pays the schools that you get accepted into the full cost of tuition. So... I've heard that it makes sense for many schools to throw in room and board to get you to come to their school. Any tips on...
