    AROTC upgrade from 3 to 4 year

    Did anyone get upgraded from a 3 year to a 4 year scholarship on the 3rd board? Curious to know if those upgrades happen at the same time as third board results are released or sometime later (e.g., as candidates turn in their 4 year scholarships to accept SA appointments). Also, any stats on...

    AROTC Second Board

    DS’s portal just updated to say that all docs must be received by Dec 30, but interviews could be done through Jan 10 to be considered by second board. This gives an additional window to get the interview done. My guess is that they had very few additions to the pool of candidates since the...

    AROTC interview for first board

    DS is going call to schedule his interview soon. If he does his interview anytime before the first board date will he be considered for that board, or does he need to shoot for a week or two before that date? I see the deadline for documents is dec 2. Does that mean he can have the interview...

    DS is diligently filling out his scholarship application and got to the question regarding intended major. The application allows one to choose among 5 major categories (nursing, general, science/technical, engineering, and another I can’t remember). DS is pretty confident about his choice of...

    AROTC deciding where to interview

    DS is finishing up junior year and has decided he wants to go AROTC. On this forum I’ve seen several people recommend scheduling the interview (which he will do later this summer) at the school that is #1 on their list. In DS’s case that is CU Boulder, which is a 2 hour flight from us. I’m...

    Alternatives to Summer Seminar

    DS is completing his application for summer seminar. He wants to attend to see if a military lifestyle is a good fit for college (he thinks it is). My wife and I agree that a summer experience might help him make a more informed decision. Knowing that it is highly competitive to get in, any...

    On campus AFROTC scholarships

    After reading the material online I have a pretty good handle on the national Air Force ROTC scholarship process, but haven’t found much information about on campus Air Force ROTC scholarships. How are these selections made and how difficult are they to come by? All else being equal (gpa...
