TTMOM, is it possible your son is interviewing for next years scholarships? I believe the deadline for this year was December 1 or at the latest January 1. Also, they have pretty much given out this years awards. You may want to verify this with someone, but I really don't think they are...

Would be interesting to see the stats of the ones that did get a scholarship. I don't think they need as many technical students as before or else they are cutting costs and hoping kids love the idea of joining the military so much they will join the afrotc without a scholarship first.

Randy, I know you must be feeling depressed now, but remember, there are other ways to get a scholarship to the Air Force. It is a very smart idea to go to your local community college for a couple of years. You can still participate in AFROTC. I know you don't want to hear this, but...

My son got the same thing, no mention of his application going before another board. Like others I see, he had very good SAT's (over 2100) and leadership and majoring in engineering. However, he had no interest in joining any military academy. Who knows what they were looking at or why he...

question on amounts awarded From reading this, I see that quite a few have already received scholarships, and tier 1 scholarships at very expensive schools. Congratulations. I am wondering if they award those first and then go down the line so that those of us waiting still can expect less...

I believe all these summer seminars at all three academies base admission solely on SAT or ACT scores. Last year my son, the week before they stopped accepting applications, applied to the SLS at West Point and Navy. He was accepted to both and I believe it was based on very strong PSAT...

Ah ok, my son's says the same thing now. A bit vague...not sure what they mean by 'rank' especially as it seems we all have the same message. Do they give out the Tier 1 scholarships first then go down the line?

We are still waiting. My son started out applying to the navel academy then quickly decided that was not what he wanted out of his college experience, so is going the AFrotc and nrotc route. He didn't get everything in until mid November, but I think that was enough time to make the December...

School selection My son's application was updated to show that everything was complete, they posted the SAT's, address, etc...they also posted his schools in a particular order. As I recall, my son indicated he had no preference in which school he got a scholarship in. I am concerned as the...

I have looked, but haven't seen anything regarding being underweight. My son, being so young, is on thin side, and according to the Air force requirements would be a few pounds shy of minimum, although hes ok for the other services. Do they give a waiver for this fairly easily? Seems to me...

Very impressive. I have been browsing the threads last few days as my son is considering applying for a ROTC scholarship and it is my perception that most here prefer the Naval Academy or Air Force Academy? Is there a reason? I have always thought West Point had a bit more prestige, maybe...
