    NROTC Scholarship helped DS get into #1 school choice!!

    We are visiting the campus in LA this week to give him the exact same exposure to both schools and both options so he can make his decision. If he was accepted to USC instead of initially rejected, he would be in a different place. And if he received a Type 1 AFROTC instead of a Type 7 AFROTC...

    Agreed!! It’s his choice and his career. We are just here to support him and give him the opportunity to truly understand both options.

    NROTC Scholarship helped DS get into #1 school choice!!

    I was AFROTC at USC but my dad was retired Navy and DH is prior Navy and a retired AF OTS guy. I am torn and really want him to go to USC. He has visited the campus at Madison this month. Since we are headed to California for the next week or two, we will schedule a visit to USC and meet with...

    NROTC Scholarship helped DS get into #1 school choice!!

    OH my goodness! I cannot believe it, but we just found out that my DS got into his #1 school choice on appeal! He was not accepted initially, but he *was* blessed with an NROTC 4-year scholarship to USC at the end of April. Working with the NROTC folks on campus, he was able to submit a letter...

    NROTC Scholarship Notification??

    Congratulations!! My husband and I were in disbelief as well and DS was moving forward with plans to use his Type 7 AFROTC scholarship at a fantastic in-state school. With the help of the NROTC unit at his #1 school, we are moving forward today with an appeal to admissions to see if the...

    Methinks that's good news! We saw NROTC added to his DODMERB portal yesterday and his NROTC portal reflected the scholarship offer today!

    NROTC Scholarship Notification??

    Update! DS's NROTC status portal just changed, reflecting the scholarship offer! Yay! Now to see if he can get into that #1 school that the scholarship is assigned to -- while checking with the unit at his Plan B school to confirm they can accept him!

    NROTC Scholarship Notification??

    Also -- notification came in the form of a text from the unit at DS's #1 school. I'm guessing that each unit does it differently. No official email or NROTC status change yet!

    NROTC Scholarship Notification??

    Agreed. I know there were dates that the board met, but we were not told which date the board would view his application. We worked with the regional Sr. Chief to get his application submitted and then just stalked the NROTC status portal and DoDMERB portal to look for status changes. :)

    NROTC Scholarship Notification??

    October....uff da!! He submitted his application on 31 January and was *supposed* to meet one of the March boards. Not sure which board his application was actually reviewed.

    NROTC Scholarship results?

    We received a text yesterday from the unit at DS's #1 choice. Then we checked his DoDMERB portal and saw the new activity from Navy ROTC. His NROTC scholarship portal this morning still shows "No Decision"....

    NROTC Scholarship Notification??

    We are still reeling from the fact that he received a scholarship -- haven't gone down the path of talking to the unit quite yet (deciding between AFROTC Type 7 scholarship in-state and the full NROTC scholarship at my alma mater). I'll chat with my DS and the spousal unit once we get the...

    NROTC Scholarship Notification??

    I am not sure! We are waiting to see the official offer and all the requirements before we jump off that bridge. He was making moves forward with a Type 7 AFROTC scholarship when we got the news. It sure is nice to have options!!

    NROTC Scholarship Notification??

    DS just received a text from the NROTC unit at his #1 listed school (which he didn't get into!) asking if he will accept his scholarship and attend that university! We then checked his DODMERB account and saw new activity from NROTC. Guessing this means he won a scholarship? He has not seen any...

    AFROTC Board Results

    Yup -- DS received the same email! Pretty lucrative/attractive offer, especially seeing that they'd cover the $18K for the first year of a converted type 2. Syracuse is very military friendly, as I know many DoD personnel that obtained their master's there on the DoD.

    TWE for DS -- kind of a relief!!

    The current highest ranking officer in the Air Force was an AFROTC student -- so how bad could it be? Enjoying the college experience while working to become an officer will be a rewarding. I was AFROTC in college and hubby went Air Force OTS -- the number of options to receive a commission as...
