Hi everyone, I am currently an Army NG SMP cadet and junior in college and will be applying to graduate programs for clinical psychology this summer into fall 2020. A big factor of where I end up will be based on the funding I receive for the program. How does tuition assistance work for...

I do not qualify to receive the Kicker since I have not gone to basic.

Hi Everyone, I am an SMP CDT in the Army NG, and am receiving the minuteman scholarship for 2 years. I have only gone to ROTC Basic Camp, and not BCT or AIT. Am I eligible to receive the GI Bill kicker? Thank You.

Thank you for the response! My recruiter and my PMS told me that it just means that there's a chance I will get it and not guaranteed. I am honestly truly confused, and would like to figure out my plan of action IOT pay for the rest of my college.

Hi Everyone, I just got my nomination from CASA regarding my minuteman scholarship. I have gone through the entire MEPS process and have qualified. Does anyone know how many Minuteman scholarships are handed out to each state? Currently an MSIII CDT, 3.05 GPA, Neuroscience major with a lot of...

Turns out I was never PDQ'd, my recruiter never sent up my new paperwork, they were just requesting additional information. Found this out after restarting with another recruiter. However, I am currently going through an administrative remedial for DODMERB. They requested a personal statement...

I became worried when I heard I was not totally qualified yet. But, your optimistic words and help will push me forward! And yes, I am cleared by my primary care who originally diagnosed me. I had also given that note to them as well with my clearance. I was varsity in crew and track in high...

Hi everyone, I just spoke with the medical tech at DODMERB a month after my initial physical exam, and was told that instead of DQ'ing me, they want a personal statememt regarding my history of scoliosis (no longer have it). What should I write in this letter? Is it possible I'll get DQ'd...

Hi Everyone, I'm in Army ROTC and just had my PT test this morning, and got a 257/300. My GPA is currently a 2.72. Will these stats be sufficient enough to qualify me for a scholarship? Im a second semester sophomore, MS1 cadet and Biology major. If I dont qualify this semester, would I be...

The CO had told me that I should receive it even though im not contracted, but when I went to my admissions office, which handles military/in-state and out of state tuitions, they said it would be through the GI bill.

Hi everyone, I am a non-commissioned cadet, who joined Army ROTC last month and was offered in-state tuition. My battalions Commanding Officer had told me about it and said I should receive in-state tuition even though im not contracted yet. But, It would be through GI benefits, but I do not...

It's been nearly a year since your last post. Any update on that situation? Would be of great help since I am going through the EXACT same situation! Thanks.

Ok, so I would physical first then - with the medical records sent up based off the physical. Thanks for the help. Looking forward to the experience and whats to come after!

Great! I really appreciate the response. So when filling out the questionnaire - is it like the MEPS process where you would send up medical records first and based off of that a physical is provided? Or is it that you take the physical and bring medical records?

Thanks for the response! I can not enroll as of yet - enrollment opens on November 7th! My history of scoliosis has largely been resolved and am no longer considered to have the condition. Most recent x-ray show 4° with physician, ortho and chiropractic clearance. And I have made a huge impact...

Apologies, I should have specified that it was Army ROTC. I have spoken with the cadre commander - sorry if that is not the correct term, and he had said the same thing, to enroll in the class next semester. But, I have all these questions which I would appreciate to have some insight on before...

Hi everyone, I would like to join ROTC as a sophomore. I was wondering how the process goes compared to MEPS. Is a Med Read done first or the actual physical? How would I qualify for a scholarship? Some more personal info: I have a history of scoliosis - no longer have it. Unfortunately, got a...

In college.

Thanks for the reply! Now, if I wanted to apply for the ROTC scholarship as well - since I am a sophomore at this point, I would not be able to since I wouldn't be able to contract until approved, correct?

Thank you so much for such a thorough response! I have been so perplexed with my situation, but this gives me some hope. The radiologist report are the measurements that I provided. Is there anyone else that I can go to, like orthopedics to further confirm the absence of scoliosis? It has...
