I believe the AROTC scholarship can ~typically~ (often) be transferred to another ROTC program if your son doesn't go to the University on his AROTC winner letter. Congratulations and praise God! It's not a dollar amount. The scholarship will cover tuition and fees ~or~ will give $10,000 for...

Except could the fitness score affect the PMS interviewer's score...that is the question...that I picked up on this board. Same with ACT score...does it affect the PMS interview score. It's like getting double credit for those items.

On the UGA Admissions Blog, David Graves is remarkably candid and forthcoming about numbers. I'm pretty sure he said applications are up all across the spectrum; rural, non-rural, out of state. Applications from New York to UGA are up 100%.

Hello, Our son is a freshman at UGA and is in the Army ROTC program. He was admitted to Georgia Tech as well. He absolutely loves UGA and is in the Honors College as a Finance Major. The business school is stunning and top notch, along with everything at UGA. He had no interest in going to...

Yes, our son was a National Scholarship winner January of his senior year of high school and did paperwork all summer, totally clear medical, high PFT score, no integrity issues.

Our son is a freshman and newly contracted 4-year Army ROTC scholarship recipient. We do not mind the scholarship taking awhile and the school allows a credit for the $5,000 tuition. Thank you, Rzrbck for your input. My friend, an ROTC mom and Army Colonel wife said that the budget didn't go...

Yes he has done so many things. He is paying for University things himself but we cannot cover this for very long with four more children at home that we work very hard for with academics and sports.

Thank you, Montana State Army. Yes, he has done paperwork and more paperwork even though he went in May and June to campus (in person) and turned in all kinds of paperwork then to stay on top of everything. He always had everything turned in that was needed. Very high fitness, clear medical...

Hello Montana, Our son is the Army ROTC program at our flagship State U and recently contracted as a freshman, 4-year scholarship winner. He had no medical issues and has the top fitness score or close to it. Although we thought he turned everything in all summer, this fall he was still...

It seems like the smartest answer sometimes would be to say "I do not know/I have a lot to learn". I have heard that from some smart people. I am not using the word "wise" for a good reason. An 18-year-old or even a college student mostly likely is not "wise". A candidate could be...

Thank you, Montana State. Our oldest received a 4 year scholarship recently and we are working with our next son, who, so far has most things going in this direction. I appreciate the specific input. Who knows, maybe one of our sons will end up at Montana State! We took the whole family on...

Another resource is your Residence Hall assistant (RA). He might be able to help you think of some good ways to get involved on campus according to your interests.

This is a great way to make some friends? Find some other guys who also like to work out. It's motivating and pretty straight forward. My son is doing this with some dorm mates - the stellar State U gym is some miles away (if it's even open). Guys who like working out have an easy time...

Can you take the chance and venture to meet new people? It's worth it. Are there any social events that you can branch out to visit? Freshman year is such an exciting time to meet new people at campus ministries/clubs/organizations. That may or may not be going on at your campus - it is at...

Our son was boarded and awarded a 4 year Army scholarship in December with very high stats. More importantly, I think that many more scholarships are awarded on the second board. I, also, have several more sons (and daughters) to send to college.

So the top nursing graduates prefer a private sector job? It seems like a neat opportunity to serve as an Army nurse straight out of college.

So the top nursing graduates prefer to go private sector for their job and serve in Army reserves? It seems like it could be a neat opportunity to serve as a nurse in the Army active duty.

wperry722, My husband and I are 49 with graduate business school degrees and professional careers. It's our observation that young (and older) Army officers that go into civilian careers garner a great deal of respect. As well, the Ivy League schools and all top universities in our country...

Thank you, this was very encouraging! Our oldest (of 5) will go to the UGA (honors college) and will be in Army ROTC. He is "all in" for an active duty Army career (short or long-term). He was also accepted to Ga Tech.

Yes, I think being an ROTC scholarship recipient helps with admittance (if the applicant meets the University's profile). The ROTC unit is part of the school, a valuable part which turns out fine men/women. These are students undergoing excellent leadership training and who will probably turn...
