My husband started college back in 1986 with an NROTC scholarship. He DOR’d after Freshman year. Came from several generations of Naval Officers and was blindly following that path. Continued his sophomore year and was just lost. Dropped out. He ended up enlisting into the Navy, went to DLI and...

DS is a Navy nurse corp scholarship recipient. Best advice if your DD does Navy--apply to every school that is a nurse option school when she is a senior in HS. Most of those schools are direct entry nursing programs (start as a freshman). She would not be able to activate a Navy nurse corp...

So sorry to hear mcfamilyof4. Wonder what is going on and also if it's the same recruiting district. We are just very thankful that DS was awarded a scholarship. Had it not been for serious intervention--his application and documents would never have even been sent to the board.

I am so glad to hear of really positive experiences. Without a doubt there are wonderful and dedicated recruiters. My FIL was a career Navy recruiter. I assume that there are glitches in the system and possibly too much to do in too little time. The initial contact was very positive, but then...

TONS of recent experience with DS and his assigned recruiter. When he initiated his NROTC scholarship application online--he got routed to a recruiting area/district. This person was several states away. And his address is in a VERY large state so it never made sense. He had a hellish time with...

Yep! Private message me. I've got personal experience with both places. NROTC at UT Austin and Corp of Cadets at A&M.

DS applied for the NROTC scholarship as a senior in high school and was not awarded. He joined his university's NROTC unit as a college programmer 2018-2019, worked hard and was awarded on Friday--specifically the Navy Nurse NRTOC Scholarship. The question here is this...he was told by his...

My son is a College Programmer. He contacted the NROTC Unit directly and scheduled a meeting when he came down for a college visit-- even before he knew he hadn't received a scholarship. Each school should have a website with contact information and an email/phone for contact. We did not go...

I've got lots of personal experience with Texas A&M. Parents graduated from A&M, all siblings graduated from A&M. Brother was in the Corp and a Ross Volunteer. What I want to say specifically is that if you cannot make it over the pond before a decision is to be made--there are people who would...

Thanks for the link. I will have my son make contact. He's asked his recruiter several times and she states they are all in. But still today--they are all "still waiting to be processed". Any easy explanation this could be happening?

My son had all of his documents in late Nov/early Dec for the NROTC scholarship. The only thing that was pending was his first semester college transcript that was not even available until January after final grades were in. However, his netfocus status still has 6 items "waiting to be...

Thanks kinnem- I really appreciate your input. Seems like you've got a lot of experience with this. Yes, his essay was submitted for opinion to his CO as well as opinion/editing advice from his parents! I think he may have learned his lesson on that topic. He will also apply for side load if...

What a difference a semester makes...my son applied for the NROTC scholarship last year as a senior in high school. After a very long wait, there was no joy. He had great SAT/ACT scores, 4.4 GPA, was 3rd in his graduating class, track state champ, soccer captain....His essay was poorly written...
